All of the V series CCITT Recommendations are in Volume VIII, Fascicle VIII.1, of the Blue Book (1988). These are available through several sources, including the UN Bookstore in New York, the ITU Bookstore in Geneva, the National Technical Information Service, and (my choice) Omnicom in Vienna, VA (1-800-OMNICOM; +1 (703) 281-1135). It costs (gulp) $94, but there's no other single place to get all of this valuable information. It doesn't, by the way, include V.42bis, V.17, or V.32bis, since these were adopted after it was published. V.42bis has been published and is available as a separate document; V.17 and V.32bis won't be published for another couple of months. -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-840-9200 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.
