The cards, yes. The 56k technology, no.

Better 28.8/33.6 connections. 56k is non-existant.
>Are they faster than the old cards?
Average connect speed has climbed. I'd say almost all of our customers
connect at 31.2.
>Are they slower?
Faster than the old cards. Slightly better ping times. With the stac
cards, and compression turned off in the client's modem, latency REALLY
drops.

In my area at least, PRI is much less stable then POTS. My USR MP/16 -
PM2e combo's work great. Up for months/years at a time without a single
hitch. Can't say the same for the PRIs plugged into my PM-3s.
56k is bleeding edge technology.
