That's true 99.99% of the time...but Infotel (also known as Zoom) is selling really cheap V.32 modems...you can pick up an internal for $169. The catch? You guessed it...these modems don't come with V.42bis. They're plain V.32 modems. They're "upgradable" (you can buy an add-on board that adds V.42bis), but I wouldn't consider the purchase of any high-speed modem that doesn't include V.42bis as a standard feature. _/_ Scott Alfter Internet: sknkwrks@cs.unlv.edu / v \ Call the Skunk Works BBS today!
