Anyone looking into v.32 >should wait and get 50% greater throughput with v.32bis (if they can wait) Anyone who has to deal with truly *poor quality* telephone lines (i.e. international lines, esp. with multiple satellite hops, etc.) should be very careful before buying a V.32/V.32bis solution. We're getting ready to publish the results of real world experiments comparing PEP, V.32 and V.32bis in true bad-line circumstances. Looks like PEP still wins (and I was hoping V.32bis would!) I don't have numbers or details available now, so I'm not particularly able to defend this statement. I hope to be able to say more within a month.
