I've been told that if the SLC is a real SLC, meaning an AT&T (now
Lucent I suppose) SLC-96, you can only get 26.4 no matter what mode
they run the SLC in, due to an analog bandwidth limitation of the
"RPOTS" (Remote POTS) cards.

Supposedly there is a new and much better POTS card for LightSpan 2000
remotes that Bell Atlantic has been using here and over in Vermont.
We have a user who got consistent 31200 connects but could not get a
flex connect at all. He moved and immediately began connecting in the
mid 40's. Presumably in his previous home he was on a LightSpan with
one of the new POTS cards running line side.
