Your 56K modem does not connect at 56K
Current FCC regulations restrict actual data transfer rates over public
telephone lines to 53K. Other factors, such as line noise, telephone service
provider equipment, or ISP limitations, may lower the speed even further.
If your system has a v.90 modem, the speed at which you can upload (send)
data is limited to 33.6K. If your system has a v.92 modem, the speed at which
you can upload data is limited to 48K. Your ISP may not support 48K uploads.
You can check modem connection speeds and dial-up network (DUN)
connections by accessing the gateway.your.way dial-up server. The server also
contains drivers, patches, and updates for current Gateway hardware and
software.
The server provides a secure connection and is a stand-alone server. You
cannot use it to access the Internet. The server cannot be accessed Mondays
from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. CST.

telephone, or another modem is in use).
