Actually, the FCC regs say nothing about *how fast* traffic can go. They
only say how much voltage you can send up the line.
Anyhow, USR's inferior implementation of "56k" was sending so much voltage
up the line, they had to cut it to 53k. Lucent/Rockwell hasn't shown this
problem. In fact, whereas USR shows 53k downlink/33.6k uplink, Lucent is
doing 61k downlink/47k uplink, and is within the voltage spec.
