APPENDIX A : Standards

V.21            Standard for modem communications at 300 bps. Modems made in
               the US or Canada follow the Bell 103 standard. However, the
               modem can be set to answer V.21 calls from overseas.
V.22            Standard for modem communications at 1200 bps, compatible
               with the Bell 212A standard observed in the US and Canada.
V.22 bis        Standard for modem communications at 2400 bps. The standard
               includes an automatic link negotiation fallback to 1200 bps
               and compatibility with Bell 212A/V.22 modems.
V.23            Standard for modem communications at 1200 bps with a 75 bps
               back channel.
V.24            Standards layed down by the CCITT for interfacing a digital
               device to a PTT-supplied modem. V.24 is also used as an
               interface standard for connecting a peripheral device, such
               as a visual display unit or a printer, to a computer.
V.25            Standard for modem communications that specifies an answer
               tone different from the Bell answer tone used in the US and
               Cananda.
V.32            Standard for modem communications at 9600 bps and 4800 bps.
               V.32 modems fall back at 4800 bps when line quality is
               impaired, and fall forward again to 9600 bps when line
               quality improves.
V.32 bis        Standard that extends the V.32 connection range: 4800,7200,
               9600, 12K and 14.4K bps. V.32 bis modems fall back to the
               next lower speed when line quality is impaired, and fall back
               further as necessary. They fall forward to the next higher
               speed when line quality improves.
V.34            28.800 CCITT standard
V.34+           31.200 & 33.600, currently only supported by US Robotics
               (V.EveryThing modems) under consideration by CCITT.
V.35            See V.24.
V.42            Standard for modem communications that defines a two-stage
               process of detection and negotiation for LAPM error control.
               V.42 also supports the MNP error control protocol.
V.42 bis        An extention of V.42 that defines a specific data compression
               scheme for use with V.42 and MNP error control.
X.3             It describes the functions of an X.25 PAD and the parameters
               used to control its operation.
X.21            Interface between DTE and DCE for synchronous operation on
               on public data networks.
X.25            Interface between DTE and DCE for terminals operating in
               packet mode on public data networks.
X.28            It defines the interactions between a terminal and an X.25
               PAD.
X.29            It defines the interactions between a host and its associated
               PAD.
X.75            ISDN, EuroStandard, 64000.
X.400           Message handling systems : System model and service elements.
X.401           Message handling systems : Basic service elements and
               optional user facilities.
X.408           Message handling systems : Encoded information type
               convertion rules.
X.409           Message handling systems : Presentation transfer syntax and
               notation.
X.410           Message handling systems : Remote operations and reliable
               transfer server.
X.411           Message handling systems : Message transfer layer.
X.420           Message handling systems : Interpersonal messaging user agent
               layer.
X.430           Message handling systems : Access protocol for teletex
               terminals.
X.500           The directory (OSI Directory Services).
