You're probably too far away from the telco's D/A converter to get 56K. Welcome to dialup-for-the-rest-of-us. It also can depend on the quality of your modem. Some modems are more resistant/tolerant of noise on the line than others. I use a 3Com (USR) Courier (NOT sportster). These V-Everything modems (external serial) are supposed to be the best in the world. New, they cost hundreds of dollars. I purchased mine off eBay for $50 (+ S/H).
