I know USR made their own modifications to v.32terbo (for ASL I think?), but, I don't think that those modifications made it "unable to work with other v.32terbo modems". I think they just extended v.32terbo further (from 19200 to 21600) IF and only IF connecting to another USR Courier.

I have not seen this primer but I have no reason to doubt that it is good. However if it states the above I think it's in error on this one point about v.32terbo at least. -Frank (fsexton@ibm.net - http://www.concentric.net/~fsexton) --- Blue Wave/OS2 v2.30 * Origin: Wildcard BBS - Thornton, CO 1-303-252-0491 (1:104/725) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 105 HIGH SPEED MODEM Ref: F2A00005Date: 02/05/98 From: PRATAP DERRICK Time: 11:57am \/To: ALL (Read 4 times) Subj: V.PCM Hello all!
