- Actually, your a little off here. V32bis means connectability at
- 14400,12000,9600,7200 and 4800 bps. V32 means connectability at 9600 and
- 4800. Notice that all rates supported by V32 are included in V32bis? You
- are correct that the lower baud rates may not be present, but pretty much
- every modem does have 2400,1200 and even 300 (with 1200 and up usually
- supporting at least MNP4/5 or possibly the V42/V42b combinations).
