Solution Summary

This solution briefly explains how the required number of different signal levels are computed and how 33,600 modem operates.

Solution Preview

To transmit data at 33600 bps using a signal with a baud rate of 6000, we would need to transmit 33600/6000 = 5.6 bits/baud.

This is effectively saying that we need to transmit 5.6 data bits per signal ...
