It was my experience that when we raised the speed of a single modem
within the bottom (lower) part of an A-LAB above 9.6 kbps that we lost
the use of top half (4 LICs).  The LAB contained ALL type 1 LIC.  As a
matter of fact, I believe that we actually had to disconnect the top 4
LICs in order to even make use of the higher speed.  (This was a test
configuration never implemented.)
