I don't consider myself an expert on this subject, but if what you're
saying is true, then obviously the difference between a 14.4k and
28.8k modem is entirely hardware-based compression. If it wasn't,
then software could emulate a 28.8k modem on a 14.4k one, which most
probably would have been done by now if it was possible.
Thus, to create a faster interface between a calculator and the
outside world, you would need major hardware modification. If it's
not possible to make 28.8k out of 14.4k on a 200MHz computer using only
software, there's no chance it'll be possible using a 10MHz 68000.
