Please put the word "Telebit" in front of each occurrence of "V.32"
above.  There is at least one modem on the market that will drop from
4800 bps to 2400 bps and there appear to be at least 3 that will
fall forward.  I just can not find anything in the V.32 recommendation
that forbids fall back below 4800 bps or fall forward from 4800 to
9600 bps.
