Last time I did this (we make a small box with 2000 modem modems in it),
the modems were fed from a T1/T3 with digital data.
The subscriber's data came from the CO in digital form and hit our
modems as digital data. No doubt it started as analog on their loop and
immediately got digitized (7 bits) and stuffed into a T1 where it stayed
digital until it hit us.
The modem code was highly tuned for this configuration.
Bridge clips will also invalidate 56K connections on
POTS lines.
ps: I'm not sure I believe this... if it says "may effect and possible
degrade" I'd sign up.
