Hopefully - me :)



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



"bis" means "again" in some obscure language :)  Just
like saying 42 and then

42.5 (this is only an example) ...



 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?



No - the "bis" has nothing to do with the increase in speed. 
They just call

it that so that they can cut the number of V.xx thingies by half :)



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



Rockwell made V.FC because they were damn fed-up (and so were users) of all

the waiting for the ITU-T to ratify V.34...  Not as good (apparently) as

V.34...



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



I thought it was 33.6Kbps...???  Anyway, that's cuz that speed is another one

of these proprietary standards...  V.34+ is developed (I think) by USR...

They were too bothered to wait (a la Rockwell) for the ITU-T to ratify the

official V.34bis...



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



Hope I helped :)
