The CCITT people are still "considering" it and still have not made the proposed protocal official, although it is a foregone conclusion by most folks that it will soon become the next modem standard. For those who don't know, V.32bis will the standard for communication at the real speed (not effective throughput) of 14,400bps. And then if you have a V.32bis modem with V.42 error correction and V.42bis data compression, you'll have a maximum effective throughput of 56k bps (ISDN! :). Forval already makes a V.32bis V.42bis modem (also with MNP5) that sells for about $1000. I want one! :)
