ISP Information:
An extension to the V.90 modem transmission standard that adds three new features: quick connect, which speeds up the connection handshake; Modem-on-Hold, for receiving incoming calls without breaking your connection; and PCM Upstream, for speeding up upstream data rates to up to 48Kbps. Previously with V.90, upstream rates were limited to 33.6Kbps. ISP Glossary:
V.92 - From Tom Betz (tbetz@pobox.com): Minor flaws? MINOR flaws? Okay, so I guess you won't mind if I find out what your phone number is and de-list it without bothering to tell you. And you won't mind if I set up a bot that will check ever couple of weeks to see whether you've re-listed your number and automatically de-list you again. The way AT&T has set up this site for the FTC, there's nothing to stop me (or anyone else, including a telemarketing sleaze) from doing that. [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Here again, we have a case of getting into things not your own (someone else's phone number) and forging a document or three for your own interests, then blaming *your own dishonesty*Pat is so far wrong here that he's not even in the same area code asTom ... Tom wasn't claiming he'd do such a thing. Reasonable steps needto be taken to lock down the data.Steven J.
