The V.29 modem is standardized as a private line 9600 Kb/s modem. The
V.29 configuration is also used in Group 3 facsimile.  I assume that
Telenet is installing these for receiving and sending fax messages,
since it does not seem to be a private line application.

The V.32 is intended for dial-up applications.  Its price seems to be
coming down steadily.

Current work in Group 3 standardization has settled on the V.33
configuration for speeds up to 14.4 Kb/s.
