Shannon’s lawShannon’s law

bits/sec =bandwidth log 2 (1 +S/N)bits/sec = 2600 Hz * log 2 (1 + 30dB)bits/sec = 26k

In Wellington you can get 28.8k, in Hawke’s Bay, 19.2k

33k assumes digital telephone network 56k assumes ISP physically at

telephone network -- no modem Higher rates through compression. I

have got 120k

Modem theoryModem theory

Three ways to encode information + baud rate

Amplitude modulationFrequency modulationPhase modulation

Data compressionData compression

Modems use v42 for data compression

v42 is the same compression standard as used in GIFsworks by sending 5*1, 2*0, etc.
