Your Application and V.25 bis
modem; an auto-answer modem is sufficient. However, a V.25 bis modem allows the 
receiving side to answer selectively or to reject incoming calls.  Table 1-2 summarizes 
the modem requirements.
When a station uses a V.25 bis-compatible modem for either call-establishment or call-
receiving, the station communicates with the modem through the broadcast address. 
Table 1-3
 shows the procedure calls to establish a call when the calling station and 
receiving station each use a V.25 bis modem.

the local DCE.
