- I'm wondering if USR will come up with a V.42bis+(230,000 dte 8:1
- compression) on the couriers? Is this just a sales gimmick? Can you
- actually get twice the compression on say text files 2.5:1 to say 5:1? If
- this is possible it would seem with V.34+ and V.42bis+ and given the fact
- that most current ISDN setup's don't support compression it could give
- Analog modems a more competitive edge against ISDN. Text throughputs in
- the 13 to 20k bytes/sec would be great if this isn't just a smoke screen.
