I've got a 56K v92 modem. Why do I see CONNECT 40000 v44 in Kinternet log? How can I be sure that I'm using the best speed? Thank you.

The modem negotiates a mutually acceptable speed with the server it's connecting with (and can re-negociate if necessary.) Given line noise, gain, component quality, system load, and a host of other things, I don't think anyone ever actually gets 56K from a modem. I'd be relatively ok with 44, but you could ask your teleco to test the line quality, and maybe tinker with the gain. I don't reckon you'd get much improvement tho.

In the US, generally the highest speed you can see on a standard phone line is about 48K. I can't answer for Italy. Also, assuming you have a good line and your ISP has a good

It does, via line sharing. The dsl signal is just up at a higher frequency then the voice/modem stuff. jack
I thought ADSL went over standard phone cables?!

Yeah, but the phone company has to use other circuitry at the ends, and they usually stipulate that in order to get DSL, you must be within 5000 feet of some sub-station or circuit-box. So the copper can handle it, but not over long distances like analog modem. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
