If you read my article, you would have seen me state that there is no such
thing for dialup lines.  There's no advantage in something that doesn't exist.

Over leased lines, the advantage of boosting the output level is the same
as when you shout on a noisy phone call.  Your louder talking helps the
other person hear your voice over the noise.  If the phone line makes the
modem signals too faint, they will be lost in noise when they get to the 
other end of the line.  Boosting the output can help get the modem signals
louder than the noise so the other modem can hear them properly.
