We have PPI28.8 modems here, they are connected at 115k and work fine. Well
fine is a relative term, out of 10 modems we had 4 die and two more are flakey.
Definitly not on the recommended list. If you open one you see that they use
the circuit board as a heatsink for the voltage regulator, and it gets very hot.
Even with proper cooling they are not very good for ISP type duty.
