33.6 was the maximum spec for ordinary phone lines; remember, x2 doesn't work
on just plain jane phone lines, but requires mostly-digital. As I
understand it, x2 is a completely different way of going about it. More
interesting (to me anyway) will be faster than 33.6 analog modulation,
which I gather Lucent are working on (Lucent did K56Flex, BTW).
