Let me get this straight. The dial-up modem ain't dead yet . Probably most significant for dial-up modems users is the ability to adjust transfer speeds. Under the V.90 standard, the best-case scenario for data transmissions from the server to the client is 56kbps, and from the client to the server is 33.6kbps. Under the V.92 standard, upstream transmission of data, from client to server, can be as fast as 48kbps.
Modems suck, suck, suck.
