I would rather it be put that "V.42bis usually implies LAPM error
correction as found in V.42". 

V.42bis requires BTLZ data compression, plus LAPM or V.120 (or
both) error correction, and V.42 requires both LAPM *and* MNP 4
error correction.

That's my understanding from reading CCITT Recommendations V.42
and V.42bis. Feel free to quote the above in any FAQs about V.42
and V.42bis.

I just noticed that Prodigy is pushing a 9600 baud service, and is
selling an "Eagle" v.32-capable modem to go with it for $200.  Does
anyone know anything about this modem?  I read somewhere that the
modem did v.32bis, v.42bis, and fax, but Prodigy (in keeping with
its "aimed at the computer-clueless" philosophy) gave no useful
information about the modem at all except that it would work with
their 9600 baud v.32 service.

If it really does have v.32bis/v.42bis/fax, then that's the lowest
price yet -- low enough to convince me to spring for a new modem as
soon as my boss tells me I have to bring back his Worldblazer.

I have a Supra V32bisFax modem in auto-answer mode.

Rom's are V1.200-H. Set to \N3.

Quite frequently I notice it answering a call, attempting to
negotiate a protocol and then after a few seconds dropping out.

I presume that there is a problem with the negotiation from the
calling modem, perhaps not tolerating the compression/correction
negotiations. Needless to say, the Supra's have no trouble talking
to each other :)

Has anyone noticed a similar problem ? With which modems ? Are there
any parameters that can be tuned to reduce this problem ?

It would be a shame to have to turn off V42bis/MNP to deal with this.

I had similar problems with tip on our 3100.  Except that my biggest problem

   You're best off to install serial card with 16550s and disable the serial 
ports on the integrated chip by hardware means (using jumpers, switches, or 
whatever), if you can find the docs.  Disabling the ports in the BIOS will 
probably not have a lot of effect, since most software bypasses the BIOS and 
accesses the port directly.  Accessing the new ports as COM3 and COM4 may not 
work well, or perhaps not at all, because the odd comm ports use the same 
interrupt (IRQ4) and the even ones, IRQ3.

It took four years to decide on V.42, less than two to decide on 
V.42bis.  It took almost four years for V.32, less than one for 
V.32bis.  It varies widely, for a lot of reasons.  Certainly 
politics is among them, but I think in the case of V.fast the 
problem is that there are a lot of quite viable ways to make a modem 
run faster than 14400.  With so many techniques to choose from, it's 
tough to make a decision (particularly with the patent issues in the 
back of everybody's mind).  It has taken a long time to agree on a 
model of the CURRENT telephone network with reasonable weighting of 
the likelihood of occurrence of various impairments, so that we have 
an "objective" way to compare the proposals.  I believe the 
committee will now have the information it needs to settle on the 
best techniques within the next six months or so, but it will still 
take another six months or more to finalize the text -- then another 
six months for the balloting of the countries.

They've all promised to upgrade the products to the standard.  What

Any recommendations for a fax modem, 9600 or 14.4, for use with both a mac and 
pc? Obviously, I don't expect to use it with both simultaneously, but do go
back and forth a lot. Faxing, terminal emulation, file transfer (large graphics
files), the usual stuff. The pc runs windows most of the time. 
Availabilty of good software for both platforms is a must.

PS. I purchased and returned a Global Village 9600 modem; it was at best
unreliable with the Quadra.

PPS. Any feedback on the quality of faxes sent from a program expecting
PostScript output would be appreciated. This includes via Freedom of
The Press.

PCMCIA cards are tiny, and it seems that there just isnt room for enough
conventional surface-mount parts in the amount of space on the card.
The solution for now is to put the naked silicon on the board and epoxy the
whole thing. This has several implications:

- new fabrication technology. Steep learning curve. Expensive. Mostly,
  the small to medium size companies have difficulty ramping up, and the
  chip and hybrid manufacturers usually are not organized to sell into
  the board and box market. I.e. while Rockwell has a factory that is
  almost ideal to build this in, they are reluctant to start selling
  products that would compete with their customers'. And Zoom, Zyxel,
  Supra, Lightning etc etc may be reluctant to get into expensive "clean
  room" manufacturing,
- With the whole board being one hybrid package, you can't rework boards
  that fail in post-assembly test; you have to scrap the whole thing.
  Especially in the early part of the learning curve, this is expensive.
- No more socketed EPROMs: No more field upgrades, unless you take the
  Intel approach and put the microcode in RAM.

There is no doubt that PCMCIA is going to be big, but for the time being
it will extract a price premium, and you wont use them unless you _have_
to.
