What does 1 Modem (56k) equal in STS3c (signal)?

One Modem (56k) equals 0.0003600823 STS3c (signal) according to the conversion rate.

Can I use this conversion to directly connect a modem to an STS3c line?

No, this conversion is for bandwidth comparison only; the signals are not directly compatible.

Why is the STS3c signal speed much higher than a Modem (56k)?

STS3c is a high-bandwidth transport signal designed for backbone networks, while modem speeds reflect older dial-up technology.
