I can guarantee you that you most certainly are not getting 57.6 Kbps. While
v.42bis is capable of 4x compression, it rarely reaches such rates. You
certainly won't get that compression while ftp'ing, as the files you're
getting are most likely already compressed. Compound that with the fact that
analog telephone lines are inherently not suited to such speeds. Even v.34
modems cannot always reach their maximum uncompressed speed. Unless you are
transferring plain 7-bit text files, v.42bis won't help you much.
And 57.6 Kbps is hardly comparable to Ethernet.

Correct.
: See if you don't like it better than a $175-a-month leased
ISDN isn't a bad alternative, if you can foot the bill for the hardware.
