Call me skeptical.  The term v.pcm has been used to describe the 
work for a *long* time.  I doubt the term will live in the 
"recommendation".  I'd bet more on v.36 or some such.  Other than
that I do believe the process is all but complete.  From what 
I've heard it will be very much X2-like.  There is better 
information over on comp.dcom.modems though.  That is really 
where the discussion belongs anyway.
