- That's not true, Tim. V.32bis modems actually transmit at 14,400 bps.
- That's why they have a different name for their modulation than 9600 bps
- modems do. 9600 bps modems use V.32, 14400 bps modem use V.32bis.

- Perhaps you've been confused by the similarity in name between V.32bis
- (transmission at 14400 bps) and V.42bis (data compression). The names
- are similar, but they are completely different things.
