It is my understanding of the HST dual standard that 1) If you want the best throughput and opt for a fixed link speed between your computer and the modem, 2) And you want callers to be able to connect at v.32 or HST whichever they are using... You're out of luck. Such was the argument that defeated my urge to purchase a dual standard. Question: If you DON'T use fixed link speeds, how can you take advantage of data-compression???

You're out of luck-- get out the checkbook, the urge is back. Modem settings: B0, &B1, &H1/&H2/&H3, &M4/&M5, &N0 Dual Standard modems always connect with each other, either in HST mode or in V.32 bis mode. However, we recommend that Dual Standard modems be set to B0 and to &N0, so that they can connect with V.32 bis, HST and lower-speed modems, in both Originate and Answer modes. (both from the USR manual) Basically, lock your dte rate at 19200 or 38400, set modem to &B1 (Fixed DTE rate) and B0 (V.32/V.32 bis mode). Dual Standards connect to each other according to the mode of the ORIGINATING modem. HST modems will cause an answering Dual Standard in V.32/V.32bis mode to switch to HST mode. -- Matthew T.
