[comp.dcom.modems] Question / Poll - European Modem connections

root@netdev.UUCP (Alex Huppenthal) (01/11/90)

We are preparing a system that may find it's being used in the European
market. We need to recommend a particlur modem for use in Europe.

The questions are:

   Is there a standard modem that is used throughout Europe ?
   For synchronous communications ?
   For asynchronus communications ?
   
   Are PEP modems, Telebit for example, widely used ?
   Are V.32 modems in use ?
   Do standards like Bell 202 apply there ?

   What is V.21 BIS ?
   Are there interoperability issues we should be aware of ?
   Are line-use-tarriff costs associated with various modems different ?

   If I was to offer a 19.2KB TB+ connection to Europe, what regulatory
   organizations are involved ?

If you have the time, and please respond.

Thank You,

-Alex Huppenthal
