Utilizing V.90 Technology
All V.90 modems are analog line devices. The following
figure shows when you can and cannot achieve 56 Kbps.
•
V.90 modems can receive data at rates up to 56 Kbps,
provided the data is being transmitted by a digital
modem on a digital (e.g., T1 or ISDN) line.
•
V.90 modems can send data over analog (twisted
pair) phone lines at a maximum rate of 33.6 Kbps—
even if communicating with other V.90 modems.
•
The actual data rate achieved depends on the age
and condition of the analog phone lines, and may be
lower than 33.6 Kbps.
