Those of us who have been reading this newsgroup for any length of time,
or who *asked* Telebit about this, have never had any illusions about
upgrading old Telebit modems to V.32.  Telebit has said, openly, repeatedly,
for a long time, that the TB and TB+ do not have the CPU crunch to do V.32
and new hardware would be required.  Where did you hear otherwise?
