I heard that their is going to be a new standard V.92.
I hear that it increases upload speed by about 40 percent...Does anyone have any more info on this... It it is true i bet reboot knows about it... another guy I work with read a little about it today. However I was too busy with repairs to check it out for myself..I will check tomorrow.. I have to stay to date no such things since I would at an ISP... ------------------ byte@pcmech.com MY icq number is 1356209 Some people hate computers.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) announced an improved ITU-T 56K modem standard: V.92. Though the top speed for downloads is still 56K, V.92 has a number of enhancements:
Startup time - the time needed to establish a connection - has been reduced, making hopping on and off the Internet much easier. Reports from months ago claimed that startup time had been reduced from around twenty seconds to about five seconds. V.92 has a standard method of disconnecting the modem long enough to let you know that someone is trying to call you without losing the connection, a feature being referred to as "Internet call waiting." The maximum upload speed has been increased from 31.2K to 48K, which should improve video conferencing and general uploading. The ITU-T also proposed two new related modem standards: The ITU-T has upgraded the V.42bis compression to V.44, which it says compresses data 25% more effectively. V.59 is a new protocol for facilitating modem and connection fault-finding. Final approval of the new standards could come as early as the group's November, 2000 meeting.

This is a new standard agreed by the ITU. The V92 will give upload speeds of 48kbs. More information on www.vnunet.com/News/1105649
