I just recieved one of the Hayes V.32 9600 baud modems. I was under the impression that V.32 had error correction and data compression and thus could provide better than 9600 throughput. Also I was under the impression that V.32 supported some level of MNP. I have been going through the manual and there is no mention of either of these featues. I also have a Hayes 9600 V.42 It has data compression and error checking if you are talking to another v.42 but at least in has MNP level 3 so I get slightly better throughput than 2400. I really just need a modem that I can use for BBS and Network telecomunications and figured that I might as well get one that wouldn't get outdated quickly. Please don't tell me I would have been better off getting a much cheaper HST dual standard. -Jason-

"Transparent" error control and protocols like MNP are "layered" on top as suits the modem vendor. The V.42 stuff represents an attempt to standardize one such feature suite... -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)
