Don't mix up baudrate and bitrate. We can use 2400 bauds (the signal) to
transport 56000 bits per second (the data).

As far as I know, telephone line can support baudrate up to 2400 baud per
second. So what does it mean 56 baud per second?
Is it not too slow to transfer bitrate of 56k?

I have a 56k v.90 and v.92 modem. 56 bps is baud per second correct,
not bits per second. Of course the phone line will only handle 52k but
is the difference between v.90 and v.92 in bits no baud? High speed
bandwidth is coming to my area. Speeds such as 100-200 bps will be
available. This sounds like DSL to me because we already have cable
modems.
