Yup...I just saw an article in the Sept 16 1996 issue of Computerworld...
Rockwell Semiconductor Systems is preparing a 56K bit/sec. modem chip
set -- today's top out at 33.6K bit/sec. -- that analysts said will
enable faster access to the Internet and corporate data networks from
remote sites and mobile workers' computers...enable modems to support
data transmission over regular analog lines at 56K bit/sec...But one
user questioned whether regular analog lines can handle data at 56K
bit/sec.
