Well, the telco has to do the usual thing:  Provide a good and short wire
from SLIC (Subscriber Line InterfaCe) to subscriber, and have a good SLIC.

The ISP should do ATS202=32 to enable high transmit level.  Some reservations
though, since I have never touched an Ascend box myself.  Try RTFM to be sure.

I usually work with the "other end", but we have spent some time persuading
ISPs to do this here in Sweden, since we're *not* under FCC restrictions,
and have a good phone network.  Still, 56000 is a rare thing here too.

The subscriber modem should work without changes.  At least ours do...
