As I undersatnd mgetty can use 33 kbps downlink speed on normal telephone
line. For full 56 kbps u will require an ISDN line as mgetty does not
support full 56 k features on normal tel. lines.

These compressions are software compression and useful if Linux to Linux
box connects from both ends. Linux does not understand the Windows
software compression properly as it is secure code. However the software
compression does not make significant improvement if hardware compression
utility of modem at both ends are enabled.
