I saw in "Data Communications" magazine ads for real dial up
(two-wire) 9600 bps modems. By real, I mean modems that maintain full
9600 baud in both directions without need for flow control or delay
greater than that attributable to the carrier. (ATT's terrestrial
service is rated at less than 100 mS coast to coast). These modems
from Concord Data Systems look like the real thing because they use
the V.32 standard. (V.32 uses echo cancellation to achieve its high
data rate) Stuff like Telebit and UDS might be acceptable for terminal
use but is not optimal for bulk data transfer.
Has anyone used one of these yet? I must admit I didn't expect the
technology to become commercially available so soon.
