I remember seeing an ad awhile ago for a V.32bis modem. Does anyone know
what companies manufacture V.32bis modems and how close it is to being
approved by CCITT??
Thanks..
Greg

Does anyone know > what companies manufacture V.32bis modems and how close it is to being Any of the modem manufacturers that use DSP technology have a fair chance of being able to simply upgrade via a prom change to v.32bis in what ever flavor is actually finally approved. The bug rub for many companies may well be that 19.2 as an interface speed just isn't enough, and 38.4 will be necessary causing all sorts of problems especailly for PC users with 8250 uarts on an internal modem card, or on the serial card facing an external modem. You really also want v.42 bis at the same time for your compression and error correction. One company for sure is advertising an upgrade package to take ANY of their v.32 DSP technology modems up to v.32bis *WITH* v.42bis and in the package they include their Group-3 PC S/W for sending and receiving FAXes. That company is DSI (Digicom Systems Inc), the "PLUS Option" (for v.32bis + v.42bis + "FlashFax PC S/W") lists for $200. The lowest price v.32 boxed modem they have is their 9624LE that lists for around $795. That puts the whole thing just under $1k. Obviously noobody in the PC world pays list. I think they are a few weeks away from shipping V.32bis WITH V.42bis, but you can get V.32 with V.42bis, or V.32bis with V.42 right now. Wherever you buy a modem today, be sure they will commit to getting you to full v.32bis + v.42bis shortly and for a known low price - else shop elsewhere. DSI sells through distributors to dealers, but they can tell you where to shop. Try: 800-833-8900 ususal disclaimer: no connection.
