You'll probably find they dont guarantee anything above 2400 _baud_ which
is not the same thing at all. (See another thread here) A standard 14400bps
modem as far as I know uses a baud rate less than or equal to 2400 (I dont
know the exact value) so ergo is covered by their guarantee, I dont know
about 28.8K though, it probably exceeds 2400 by a little bit....(I must
find some information on the modulation schemes of V32bis, V34 etc...)
