AFAIK, ALL modems except the earliest models ever (300 baud 
etc.) use compression to achieve their "rated speeds", and no 56 
modem can process anything at a faster speed than 53 or 56 (I 
don't know which is correct - see thread - and they're 
practically the same anyway). 
And it achieves that speed by compression. AFAIK, it's just a 
14.4 or 28.8 (my knowledge fails me here) modem with much better 
compression algorithms and some newer components.
