>I stand corrected.

Well actually you were right that v.34 supports a 19.2 speed; it's just not
the same protocol as the one defined in v.32ter. It would be difficult to
have made it work, since the handshake for v.34 is necessarily different
from v.32 (or any of the other standards that came before or after) -
before any speed negotiation even takes place.

"v.32terbo" was just a lame marketroid way of trying to sell v.32ter
modems. The marketplace was not fooled. ;)  "ter" simply means the third
revision of v.32 (but not part of the standard in this case). "v.32bis" was
the second revision (the 14.4 standard). The 19.2 modems were used by some
UUCP and FIDOnet systems for whom connect time was billed by the second,
but not much else.
