- From what I understand Zyxel's 19.2kbps implemenation has always

- It IS just and extension to v.32bis, and they weren't charging
- quite a bit extra for it, in fact, they weren't charging ANYTHING for it.

- That's because you're looking at the wrong market segment.
- v.32terbo had a reasonable amount of use in the business/corporate sector,
- an area where vFC simply didn't exist. Also, were (and still are) quite a
- few ISPs that used Multitechs (amonst others) which support v.32terbo.
- Actualy, for that matter, one ISP that I connect to runs v.32terbo modems.
- In either case, both v.32terbo and vFC are pretty much dead protocols, but it
- doesn't cost anything to keep them along for the few people who still use
- them, so why complain?
