4536.0. "Modems - faster ones are getting cheaper." by ULTRA::BURGESS (Mad man across the water) Thu Feb 21 1991 15:04

	As 9600 baud modems are starting to appear on the market at 
< $500 they become interesting, however there is a need to know what 
is being offered - and of course a need to know what of that is 
needed vs useful vs "glitz".

	Please help me find a description of what the various modem 
features and protocols are;   V.29,  V.32, V.42, etc.

Please note that you'll find more complete answers in comp.sys.amiga.datacomm 
and comp.dcom.modems.

In a nutshell:
V.32		9600bps, full duplex with fallback to 4800bps
V.32.bis	14400bps, full duplex with fallback to 9600/7200/4800bps
V.42		Error correction
V.42.bis	LAP-M data compression (up to 4 times, no speed/size penalty)

Cheers,
