56k modem support

This release provides a standard generic 56Kbps modem dialer for use with 56k modems. As the dialer is generic, specific vendor or model autodetection is not supported.

Use of a 56k modem does not guarantee a 56k connection. The actual connection speed depends on a number of factors:

• the equipment at your telecommunications company or internet service provider

• whether your hardware supports this speed

• the quality of the telephone line

• the defaults set in the modem
