(ASCEND) MAX 4004> Seeing Data Rate of 31200 after changing to 33.6



I have recently changed my configuration under 90-800 Mod Config/Tserv 
options/Max Baud from 28800 to 33600 in order to see if our 33.6 
customers could work at higher speeds than 28.8.  Since the change on 
both of my maxen, I have seen customers get data rates of 31200.  Is this 
normal?  The cards are both the MOD-8 and MOD-12 cards.  Should I not 
expect to see data rates of 33600?  Is this a hardware limitation?

>From a marketing perspective, the 31200 speeds is more than the 28800, 
although not by much, and can be marketted as a speed improvement to the 
customer base.

What about these K56FLEX cards at lower speeds with heat etc as 
problems?  I have seen before on the list that the boxes can only handle 
48 56Kb modems do to heat etc.  However, if the maxen were configured to 
only handle speeds to 33600, would that have any affect on the heat 
problems and thus allow for a full 72 modems in a 4004 chassis?  The 
thought here is to take advantage of the K56FLEX Upgrade plan to replace 
the recently purchased MOD-12 28.8 modems with the newer 56Kb modems in 
order to take advantage of the better performance of the new cards.

Any comments would be appreciated.
