No, you can connect to a BBS at speeds greater than 33600, for example, at X2 
rates. This DOES REQUIRE that the BBS be running an X2 I-modem and that it 
has an ISDN line to the central office.
For example, if I had ISDN and one of those Imodems you could do X2 to me 
with an X2 capable modem because I am1 block from the CO, well within the 
distance that would support such connects.
