Modem connection speed

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

A lot of times the speed depends on the phone line that you are dialing in
on.

A line with low signal will get low speeds, your home might get high
connection, but the office might not, The two computers need to connect at
the same speed.

It sounds like the remote server lines are only going to handle 28k.

You won't ever get better than, I think, 33.6.

There's quite a bit of misinformation about this out there on the web, but
56K modems only connect at 53K when the host is an ISDN line--i.e. to your
ISP. They aren't capable of doing 56 (or 53)K between pairs of modems, even
with excellent analog lines.

Here's a pretty good reference:

I hope you will find 28.8 quite usable--turn off all the experience
checkboxes except bitmap caching.

I use RD over analog connections occasionally, mostly for short network
admin work--when a broadband connection is down and I need to dial in and
troubleshoot. I find it quite acceptable, but don't use it for very long.
