user to receive data at twice the speed of a 28.8k (that's 28,000 bytes a
second) modem - hence 56k. This requires that whoever you communicate with
support the X2 protocol. You can still only send data at 28.8k (or 33.3k if
you have recently purchased a new modem). So it is limited in its use. BTW
-
the FCC only allows a maximum speed of 53K through standard (analog) phone
lines so watch out for the telephone line speed cops when downloading using
X2.

DR. Doug,
Now you've done it! Added one more thing to my list of things to worry
about... getting a speeding ticket one the internet!
Which port do I plug my radar / laser speed trap detector into on my PC? Is
that serial or parallel?
What a world, what a world.
