No. What it will do is allow you to connect to your ISP at a _maximum_ bit 
rate of 56kbps in the direction of your ISP to  you (from you to the ISP will 
max out at 33.6kbps),  provided:
1.  Your provider uses a server modem with a  variant of the protocol that is 
compatible with that which is used by your     modem,
2.  Has a direct digital connection to the network,
3.  _AND_ the teleco path from the server modem to you  is devoid of 
intervening devices that alter the digitalally               encoded signal.
Users of your BBS will not be able to connect with you at 56k.
