- While I cannot speak you the local att.net POP in your area, the one
- here in Houston does -not- support the v.fc (Rockwell-proprietary)
- protocol. Their host modems sign on with a handshake "fingerprint" that
- suggests they're using an AT&T chipset-based modem. It supports genuine
- real-McCoy V.34 plus AT&T's V32-terbo "open standard".
-
- "V.fc" is a proprietary, non-standard protocol. The fastest speed your
- "v.fc" modem has in common with one which supports only the full V.34
- ITU STANDARD would be 14.4. - You really need to think about
- upgrading your modem, if possible, or getting one which supports true
- V.34.
