KR> While I'm out begging for information,

Just watch out for housemaid knee and boots in the teeth.

KR> who can answer these questions for me?

All might be able to, everyone asks him usually.

KR> What is the meaning of /bis/ in protocols such as V.32bis?

Just the next in the sequence. Its french, next after that is ter.

KR> If V.22 means 1200bps, V.22bis means 2400bps, and V.32 means 9600bps,
KR> does this mean V.32bis should really be 19200 and not 14400?

Nope, anything better than 14400 is fine.

KR> Who was responsible for developing and releasing the V.fc standard?

Rockwell.

KR> Why is 33000bps referred to as V.34+ and not V.34bis?

Coz its not an official standard. There is often some playing
silly buggers like that. V32terbo is basically a pun on V32ter
and whoever was responsible should been taken out the back and
shot to encourage the others to behave themselves.

Computing is riddled with them. C, the language is another. C++ too.
Then there are the raft of things starting with YA like YACC.

KR> I'd appreciate any comments on these questions.

You aint seen them yet, you might not appreciate them all |-)
