I was basing the opinion of slower speeds on my personal experience..
and i have my modem set to correctly report the carrier connect rate,
and not the speed the port is locked at.. dialing in analog i get
33.6 about 90% of the time, and 31.2 the other 10.. dialing in to the
PM3 i get 26.4 about 90% and very rarely 28.8.. the speed increase
that you are seeing looks like it's simply v.42b compression.. my
analog ports are set so that the user's modem determines if data
compression is used or not, and it appears the PM3 doesn't give them
a choice. v.42b is great for web browsing as html is highly
compressable, however for interactive gaming.. ie quake/kali/etc its
much better to be w/o data compression as it increases modem latency.
Just what i've observed..
