As before, you still can buy a HST, V.32 and DualStandard. > All modems now have V.32bis... ^^^ ^^^^^^ our CIS dept. supra 2400 doesn't have V32.bis... 8-) Actually V32.bis is not a standard yet, the people I got my modem from refuse to add V32.bis (they are going to provide an upgrade path) until it is a finalized standard. Note you CAN buy modems today that have v32bis just like you could buy ansi-c compilers before ansi-c was a final standard. But in the event of some change, hardware is harder to upgrade than software. I agree with my modem vendor and am willing to wait until V32 IS a standard.
