Again, could you help me understand this one. Two main standards worth talking about V.32 and HST. As far as I know, neither is particularly better. It seems that V.32 is winning as far as I can tell. I would get V.32 Try to get V.32bis (faster) or get V.42 (a compression mode, like MNP5 but better.) I too want a faster modem!
