[comp.protocols.misc] V.32 vs V.29 Protocols

hoyme@SRC.Honeywell.COM (Ken Hoyme) (02/24/90)

Does anyone have a concise description of the differences between the V.32 and
the V.29 protocols?  My wife's clinic is installing a computer system with
remote terminals at a satillite office connected by a dedicated leased line.
They are being told that they need a V.29 modem rather than a V.32 modem for
the leased application.  Is that true?  Does the V.29 give them any advantages
or disadvantages over the V.32?  Does a V.29 modem provide dial-up capability
as a back-up in case the leased line goes down?

Many thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Please e-mail your responses...if there is sufficient interest, I will post a
summary.
