Which version of the MAX OS ? The patch releases only show the upload
rates (with respect to the client modem), it's the download rate that
is the K56 rate [32000, 34000 etc].

If you are running an "i" release, then you don't have the latest
Rockwell 1.054 release of the modem code - a big improvement on the
server modem code.
