A few years back there were three incompatible technologies in the 9600 baud modem world, as three independently invented methods for cramming data on a phone line nominally incapable of carrying it were dsicovered. From the above, (specifically "V.32 compatible") it looks like USR and Telebit might be able to talk some common protocol nowadays. Can anyone confirm/deny/do a tutorial for us? At one time essentially all of USENet chose to standardize on Telebit, to have a common protocol. Is that still necessary? Thanks. Please post, I'm interested in seeing this question discussed here, as a higher speed modem for Ami is somewhere in her future.

You can't use the HST protocol for anything on USENet, due to the packet size of the UUCP protocol. Thus, UseNet had to use Telebits. Now that Telebit turns out V.32 modems as does USRobotics, good times are ahead. The Telebit you'll need is T2500, the USR is the Dual Standard. You can run UUCP on Dual Standard using V.32, but Telebits will give you better transfer rates. On the other hand, USR's are much cheaper. If you wish to use your modem for both BBS's and UUCP, I'd recommend a HST Dual Standard. >Thanks. Please post.

I just got my V.42 chips from USR a couple days ago, they work great! Just
thought I'de let you know...
