Call it idle speculation, but what's the highest
speed a
consumer-grade audio modem can manage over VoIP, state of the art or
otherwise? Has anyone tried this?
Since VoI is basically what's been done for a long time at the CO, only
doing it at (or at least closer to) the phone, I would guess that it's
pretty much the same as recent POTS, only with different error
characteristics. A ploss-free VoI call _should_ be able to run 56K.
Now you've got me curious. I should scare up a couple of ATAs and
experiment, see how close my guess above is to the reality.
