A T1 line could carry 1.544 Mb over 2 pairs, back in 1962, well before there was such a thing as Unix.

Yes, but a T1 was a coaxial cable, designed to carry that speed, whereas a telephone copper pair was designed, if it was at all designed, to carry voice.
What almost everybody thought, was that it was impossible to carry 1 Mb/s on those POT lines as they were.
With all respect to everybody, 1.544 Mbps over two pairs is less than 1 Mbps per pair, s I'm not sure where the argument is, nor why it's worth discussing, especially on the support list rather than offtopic. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
