We recently worked out a deal to install a 19.2kb dedicated
line between nstar.rn.com and another site 160 miles away -
and plan to run SLIP over this connection. Both ends will be
running Interactive Unix 386 release 2.21 - and we are at a loss
as to what type of modems to place on each end.
V.32 was our original idea - but now that V.32bis is out - we
are thinking about using V.32bis which should increase the throughput.
Any comments or feedback would be most welcome.

V.32bis is definately the way to go. Not only do you get potentially higher throughput (14.4kb) but you also get a MUCH MUCH better retrain technology which should alleviate much of the v.32 dropped line problems. We have 10 v.32 modems and I won't buy another one because of the problems we have with dropped lines (or pauses for as much as 45 seconds while the modems retrain). The next modems that we buy MUST support v.32 bis. -- Conor P. Cahill (703)430-9247 Virtual Technologies, Inc. uunet!virtech!cpcahil 46030 Manekin Plaza, Suite 160 Sterling, VA 22170
