I wasn't that worried about the up/down speed changes (though it is valuable) -- I was thinking of the kind of lines where PEP manages to hold a connection where V.22 would fail to connect. I think was it Peter da Silva who had a few of those ? "PEP at 200 cps is better than no connection at all" is an important consideration. I really would like to know how well V.32is and its implementations would compare in situations like that. Of course I'm hoping that V.32bis will win. If PEP wins, that means sticking to UUCP. If V.32{,bis} wins, we get to switch to IP. None the less, if PEP wins, I'll continue to buy PEP, because reliable UUCP is much better than unreliable IP. That's why I'd like to see some real data. -- Ronald Khoo +44 81 991 1142 (O) +44 71 229 7741 (H)
