The quest hast begun...
Anybody know who produces v32bis modems (that support v32, v42, v42bis,
and other slower protocols) and how much they run for?
I'm looking for the best deal now.

Don't expect it to happen until an ASIC house like Rockwell updates their V.32 chipset for V.32bis. That's what most of the cheap V.32 modems are based upon. V.32bis is even more challenging for a hardware designer, so expect the cheapies to buy commodity items and package them in several months. -- l\ /l ' _ Mike Schuster ...!cmcl2!panix!schuster l \/ l l l/ (_ NY Public Access CIS:70346,1745 l l l l\ (_ UNIX Systems MCI Mail,GEnie:MSCHUSTER

To the best of my knowledge, the only companies presently shipping V.32bis modems are USRobotics, Digicom, Penril, Codex, Forval, and Prometheus. I'm not sure of the pricing, but I think the USR is around $1200, Digicom $1000, Penril $1400, Codex $1200, Forval $800, and Prometheus $800; all list prices. They all support V.42, V.42bis, and the lower speeds. Many other companies are going to be shipping soon; the voting on V.32bis closed today, and I'm waiting to hear the results. -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-840-9200 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.

[...] The USR V.32bis can also be bought for about 600$ by mail-order. -- _________ Teemu Mottonen | | internet: tmottonen@cc.helsinki.Fi University of Helsinki | | bitnet: TMOTTONEN@FINUH Dept.of Computer Science |_________| decnet: HYLK::TMOTTONEN
