I need some information regarding how many bits per second I can send on a telephone line. This seemingly simple question has many sub-questions, though. What is standard technology today? What rate can all phone lines support? How much does a modem which operates at this rate cost? What is the quickest rate that a standard phone line supports and how much are their accompanying modems? In the near future, what will be the standared rate? What impact will fiber optic networks have on this rate? Will AT&T's ISDN be likely to increase the standard baud rate? Lastly, are there any other factors I should consider in calculating baud rate over standard telephone lines? Please email directly your response. Thank you in advance for your time.
