Modems

V.29

Network hardware; Modems

An ITU-T standard for facsimile operations that specifies modulation at 9,600 bps, with fallback to 7,200 bps.

V.32

Network hardware; Modems

An ITU-T standard for modem communications at 9,600 bps and 4,800 bps. V.32 modems fall back to 4,800 bps when line quality is impaired.

V.32 bis

Network hardware; Modems

An ITU-T standard that extends the V.32 connexion range: 4,800, 7,200, 9,600, 12,000, and 14,400 bps. V.32 bis modems fall back to the next lower speed when line quality is impaired, fall back ...

V.34

Network hardware; Modems

An ITU-T standard that currently allows data rates as high as 28,800 bps.

V.34+

Network hardware; Modems

An enhancement to V.34 that enables data transfer rates as high as 33,600 bps.

V.42

Network hardware; Modems

An ITU-T standard for modem communications that defines a two-stage process of detection and negotiation for LAPM error control.

V.42 bis

Network hardware; Modems

An extension of ITU-T V.42 that defines a specific data compression scheme for use during V.42 connections.
