BTW - 56k seems to be the standard in the US.  I've never seen a 64k line
here.

I don't know about that.  I used to work in a place where we served about
25 modem sessions (9600 at the time) using a multiport card, and that was
on an ancient AT&T 386 (with 4 megs of ram).  This was not with Linux
(another 386 unix), but I doubt linux would require any real processor
power just to serve ppp over modems...
