What baud rate did you plan? # #The V.32 specifies 9600 baud. # #Why not use a V.32bis modem though? 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. There exists already such a modem. It is the DSI 9624 LE with the Plus option. It's a full V.32bis, MNP5, V.42, V.42bis and Fax Group 3 modem. A friend of mine and I are working on a driver (finally) and will post when it is ready. (There is midterm time however that might delay this a little...)
