Standard analog modem communication protocols
(for speeds up to 33.6 Kbps).
ITU-compatible V.90 and K56Flex protocols (for
higher speeds).
n The V.90 and K56Flex protocols allow faster
downloads only from V.90 and K56flex–compliant
digital sources. Maximum achievable download
transmission rates are currently unknown, may not
reach 56Kbps, and will vary with line conditions.
