V.90 (RE: FW: flexfax: Old modem list)

["ocarl_b" <ocarl_b@hico.ch>]

According to the (usually well informed) swiss distributor of ZyXEL
products, 2864I will support V.90 only as a "analog" client (GET data fast
when connected e.g. to a ISP) - nobody really would want to do that, you
would connect ISDN instead.

It is not possible to connect to a analog V.90 modem to SEND data with
56kb/s.

Please let me know if this information was incorrect!

V90 and kflex needs that one side has a digital line in. You cant use
higher speeds than 33.6 between two analog modems.
If you used something like a Zyxel 2864I with ISDN it _may_ work, i havent
tried it. The zyxel is 33.6 only for now, but it they have V90 firmware in
beta on their ftp-site.

And Yes, they work much better with the latest released firmware. The RTN
problem is gone for me at least.
