Check out the January 1991 issue of Data Communications for a complete
comparrison of most V.32 modems. The article is entitled 'Test High-Speed
Modems the Right Way' and starts on page 82. They test the following models:
Company Model
------- -----
Digicom Systems Inc 9624E+
Hayes Ultra Smartmodem 9600
Microcom Inc. QX/4232hs
Multi-Tech Systems Inc. MultiModem V.32
NEC America Inc N9635E
Octocom Systems Inc OSI8596
Okidata Okitel 9600 V.32
Penril DataComm ALX V.32/14.4M
Telebit Corp T1600
UDS Inc. V.32/42bis
US Robotics Inc. Courier HST Dual Standard
The only two ommisions from the list (that I'm aware of) would be:
Company Model

Codex ???? (I know they have a V.32 modem)
Ventel 9600 PLUS
For more information on the Bell and CCITT standards for modem

There is another v.32 modem that was not mentioned in your list. I recently purchased the Practical Peripherals PM9600SA modem, v.32/v.42bis. Practical Peripherals is wholly owned by Hayes, I am told, and their modems are totally compatible. They come with a 5-year guarantee, and cost considerably less than many others. The list price on this modem is $699, but they can be purchased for about $450-475. Sysops can get them for $349. Their phone number is 818-706-0333. Incidentally - I love the modem.
