V.32: a 9000 bps full-duplex
modem modulation scheme with
fallback to 4800 bps.
V.32bis: a 14400 bpx full-duplex
modem modulation scheme with
fallback to 12000, 9600, 7200, and
4800 bps.
V.42: an error correction scheme
used by many V.32 and V.32bis
modems that carries
asynchronous data using the
LAPM protocol over a synchronous
connection.
V.42bis: a data compression
method used by many V.32 and
V.32bis modems. V.42bis can only
be used over V.42.
