I agree. The GP was not accurate.
I recall visiting an older friend in college in 1994. We both had TI DLC486-40 CPU's at the time, and he was compiling this new thing called "lie-nucks" and it scrolled some messages on the screen. I ran a BBS then under DOS 5, and I believe I had a "softmodem" card that theoretically could do 33.6Kbps but I never saw better than 28.8 and that was only a few times with my crappy phonelines.
