I agree, it isn't possible to do 9600 transitions/second
on a POTS line. 9600 baud modems don't do 9600 transitions/second,
they encode more information with what is called quadrature
encoding. Don't confuse data encoding rates with transition
rates, they aren't the same.

Are you
claiming that it's impossible to have a modem where there are
9600 transitions/second on the 'line' side? Because if so, I don't
believe you.
I'm claiming that it's not possible to have a 9600 baud modem on a POTS
line. Obviously it is possible on other transmission lines or media with
greater bandwidth.
What was the official use of this stick? Some
kind of packing/transit
clamping device?
Yes.
