It seems to be so. I have the "V32bis" Dual Standard, and it has successfully connected with USR, Hayes, ATI, PPI, and Intel V.32 modems - and whatever Telenet is using (I'm getting a mixture of MNP4 and LAP-M connects here in New York). Of course, once these other manufacturers market V.32bis modems the fun may begin all over again :-)
