I was wondering if anyone knows what are the rated speeds?

My modem (USR 33k6 voice) occasionally yields 33k6, but 80% of the time
it goes at 31k2.

Will are the speed spreads of these new modem? If i can up grage my
modem will I have either ~50k, or 56k?

Also will a new UART to be required for the faster speeds to deal with
the compressed throughput. With a connection at 31k2 I have managed to
download news from demon at a peak of 10953cps!!! (sweet memories, it
was on Christmas day when people had lives to live). These 56k modems
are supposed to go at a max of 230k for some 'fluffy' data, can a PC
take this?
