V.32bis is the standard for 14,400 baud without compression. Most stuff I transfer with a modem is already compressed so I don't get much benefit using V.42bis compression. The pure 50% speed increase would be pretty useful. While we're on the subject, are there any plans by anyone to make a card modem for the NeXT Cube? I've got three empty slots and two full serial ports and a card modem would be ideal. Maybe integrate it into one of those answering machine setups, with automagic switching if the call was a fax, or another modem. Just some thoughts... tjb -- ____________________________________________________________________________ | INTERNET: tjb@IceCube.unh.edu USPS: Thomas Baker | | USENET: uunet!IceCube.unh.edu!tjb P.O.
