IMPORTANT! In accordance with the ITU-T standard for 56K transmissions (V.90), this modem is capable of 56 Kbps downloads.
However, due to FCC rules which restrict power output of the service providers’ modems, current download speeds are limited
to 53 Kbps. Actual speeds may vary depending on line conditions and other factors. Uploads from users to server equipment
travel at speeds up to 31.2 Kbps. An analog phone line compatible with the V.90 standard or x2ätechnology, and an Internet
provider or corporate host site compatible with the V.90 standard or x2 technology are necessary for these high-speed
downloads. See www.3com.com/56K for details.
