Does this imply that if I call someone's brand X V.32 with my brand Y
V.32, that there isn't necessarily any error detection or correction
going on between the modems?  This doesn't make V.32 sound terribly
useful to me.

Does the PEP "standard" (ie, what is licensed to other manufacturers)
specify the modem-to-modem error correction protocol?
