Over the last few years work has been going on to develop an ITU-T
Recommendation for a modem that would inter-work with text telephone devices
currently in use around the world.
One can find out about this work at: http://www.pi.se/~omnitor, particularly:
Linkname: V.18 final version __DETERMINED__( Q09a10r2.doc )
URL: http://www.pi.se/~omnitor/q09a10r2.doc
for the current version of ITU-T Recommendation V.18.
In it, ISO 10646 is used as the character set.
This is interesting as I have not previously seen any modem explicitly
supporting double byte character sets, and wonder how an external
V.18-compliant modem would do so, and what non-propriatary-to-the-V.18
-compliant modem terminal software e.g. Kermit-95 would do to handle double
byte character sets, given that modems currently use 8 data bits 1 stop bits
no parity for commands and responses.
Is there a standard sequence in ISO 10646 that can be used to tell a terminal
package to enter ISO 10646 mode? Presumably the V.18-compliant modem could
also accept and send data as single-byte Latin-1 characters.
