- Heck, V.32bis is useless unless you're talking to another V.32bis modem.
- English is useless unless you're speaking to another English-speaking person.

- My understanding is that _anyone_ that wants it can have it. In my uneducated
- opinion, Rockwell is perhaps one of the least likely to do anything with it
- (of their own volitiion). Mfrs who have developed their own DSPs are more
- likely to be able to implement ZyXEL's V.32bis extensions, from what I have
- gathered. And even though their modems' flesh may be strong, their spirit may
- be weak, unless enough of their customers insist on 19.2k. The dedicated
- chipset mfrs might well be the last to come around to ZyXEL's V.32bis
- extensions.

- 16.8? HST in general.

- Word in the ZyXEL forum contradicts that. I'll try to get something
- definitive from ZyXEL USA.
