Ok this one sound really outta this word but at the end of the following
article http://www.msnbc.com/news/377105.asp?0m=H1AQ

         Modem mania. Don't write off the modem altogether. Gigabit-speed
modems are reportedly being developed


The author mentions something about Gigabit  modems. I'm just as intriuged
you might say about this as everyone else. I know
the theoretical limit was 56K for downstream analog modem. Or is this a data
line (probably more likely) like ISDN or xDSL.. Of course
33.6K was supposed to be the theoretical limit before 56K, are we about to
be proven wrong.

Of course she said "reportedly being developed" but the possibly is very
intriguing.
