V.34

V.34
V.FAST

   <protocol> An {ITU-T} {standard} {modem} serial line
   {protocol} using {symbol rates} of 2400, 2743, 2800, 3000,
   >3200 and 3429 and up to 28800 bits per second.

   The official V.34 draft recommendation was titled:

      Modem operating at data signalling rates of up to 28 800
      bit/s for use on the general switched telephone network and
      on leased point-to-point 2-wire telephone-type circuits.

   During the lengthy process of approval by {ITU-T}, many
   manufacturers released 28.8 kbps modems described as "V.FAST".
   The V.34 recommendation was ratified by {ITU-T} on 20
   September 1994.  {Rockwell} and {US Robotics} both have seats
   on the ITU-T, and have both released {chip set}/{BIOS}
   combinations that they feel will meet V.34.  V.34 modems will
   also support {V.FC} if the manufacturer currently supports
   V.FC (e.g. {Rockwell}).  Some (all?) V.34 modems will also
   support {line probing}.
