I don't necessarily know of any resources for you, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware that in order to get 56K connections, you MUST either use a ISDN or T1 (or other digital method) from the modem to the switch. If you have one standard 56K modem call another, the most you are going to get is 33.6. This is one of the reasons I recommended the Portmaster. If you were looking for a 56K solution, there is a whole different set of solutions. - Forrest W.
