I'm not sure where you get that. 28.8k is 3200baud, while 33.6k is 3429 baud, there is no "compression" involved to get 33.6k. The max theoretical bandwidth from analog end to analog end is about 35kbit/s. The fact that one end is digital (i.e. an ISP) allows for V.90 and V.92 which are capable of 56/33.6 and 56/48 respectively. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Modem TTYL --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
