Especially not when a pair of TAs work as well as they do.  Sure,
you're shaving off the top end at 115.2K, and you're paying the 2-bit
price of start and stop bits, but for many people (and I include
myself), it's more than good enough!  My own ISDN connnection is
nothing more than a pair of FreeBSD boxes and ADTRAN L1 Express
Terminal Adaptors.

Sure I'd like to go 128K/sync, but I'm still getting 10.7kB/sec
consistently in ftp transfers of compressed data and that's a whole
lot more than my 28.8 line used to do, so I'm pretty satisfied with
things just as they are! :-)
