AR>You will NEVER get 56K when you call into a BBS.
  >There has to be a digital connection on one end of the line.
No, but looking for a 33.6 connect.  Highest connect speed has been
31.200.
AR>The way it is setup, only the internet providers have the necessary
  >digital connections to do this.
Understood.
AR>And even then, the 56k connect is one way only:  from the ISP to you.
  >If you send a file outbound, it will only go at a max speed of 33.6.
Understood, still looking for a 33.6 connect.  Even the modem test says
my line supports X2.
