a)Because of FCC limitations, x2 and V.90 are effectively limited to 53K in the U.S. K56flex is not affected. This isn't a huge problem, as most people probably wouldn't connect at the full 56K anyway, due to the phone line impediments that prevent many people from connecting at 28.8K, and that prevent most people from connecting at 33.6K. And, really, it's just a 6% difference. It's a PR loss because doubting Thomases have latched onto it as a reason to criticize 56K technology.
There is quite a bit of mis-understanding on this subject. Here's some clarification:
* Only x2 V.90 modems are affected. K56flex modems are not affected. See below.
* The FCC's rules apply only in the U.S. Users in other countries have reported full 56K connections.
* The FCC does not limit modem speeds per se. Instead, it limits the amount of power that can be sent through the phone line in order to prevent interference with other electrical devices.
* It's possible that the FCC may grant a waiver in the future that would allow speeds of 56K or higher in the U.S.
* The 53K limitation is not built into the modems you buy. Instead, it is enforced in the server equipment at the online service or Internet service provider you're dialing into. A software change at the ISP could remove the limitation, and server equipment shipped overseas does not have the limitation.
