Dial-up Modem Speed of 56 Mbps?

Is it possible to obtain a 56 Mbps connection using 1,000
dial-modems with a 1,000 different telephone ports and
numbers?

Each line gives a max of 56 Kbps, so if 1,000 are used,
could this give a max of 56 Mbps?

Can't believe anyone took this question seriously. Even *I* can
tell the guy is a ****ing troll.

And what's worse, someone giving a reasonable response to a stupid
question, or someone who just likes to bitch?

...and 56k modems were regulated to 53k.

even if they weren't regulated, signal to noise and bandwidth limits the
speed. (Shannon theorem.)

They were capable of 56k, given perfect conditions.

Also, There is no easy way to amalgamate all the connections into a single
stream. Just put two 100mbit network cards in a PC. It won't let you
download at 200mbit. It will let you have two 100mbit streams though.

i think the bonding and multilink PPP techniques require the help of the
ISP. you should be able to use a load balancer with 2 DSL lines fairly
easily.

But you couldn't use BOTH streams to double the speed of a single download.

there are downloader programs that use threading and mirrors (like
Getright).

multilink or load balancing 56k would only make sense somewhere that had
no DSL, no cable, no satellite ...

Actually, I've got a dual WAN router here and two cable modems. Still, my
fastest download for a single file is only 7mBit (the speed of one
connection).

You can never tell in advance who's a troll, and who actually just
wants an answer to a wild thought they had. It is an interesting
question, in theory.

In the UK, 1000 telephone lines would cost about 10000GBP per month! Pay
as you go would be 50GBP per minute.

trolling Usenet is a distant second to sex. a very sad distant second.

anyone have $300 to get this guy laid?

I believe you can, if given prior evidence.

Either way, a "wild thought" would still be researched prior
to public scrutiny.

Besides which 56k modems usually have compression techniques added,
so they can process communications at well over 56k.

1) Not "in advance", I read the question!

2) In theory, exactly. And not THAT interesting, IMHO. And
anyone who knows the difference between a modem and a graphics
card knows it can't be done.

3) NO ONE would ever attempt to try it in real life if nothing
else because of the cost.

4) Ergo: troll.

Not bad, a new definition of a geek with nothing better to do!

AFAIK, ALL modems except the earliest models ever (300 baud
etc.) use compression to achieve their "rated speeds", and no 56
modem can process anything at a faster speed than 53 or 56 (I
don't know which is correct - see thread - and they're
practically the same anyway).
And it achieves that speed by compression. AFAIK, it's just a
14.4 or 28.8 (my knowledge fails me here) modem with much better
compression algorithms and some newer components.
