- Sounds to me like the modem(s) the sysop once had on the BBS were
- V.FC (Rockwell proprietary) and not real McCoy, genuine V.34s. The
- new results with the Motorolas pretty much tell the story. Motorola
- doesn't support V.Fc and neither do Multi-Tech (among several others).
- V.Fc is not a standard. V.34 is.
