Second, or again, or something to that effect. V.32bis is an extension
(revision) to V.32.

No, it means a revision, not double speed.

Rockwell, who make the chipsets used in many of the cheaper-end modems.

Because at present, it's not an official standard, but rather an extension
to V.34 that USR and some others have cooked up. When it's finalised it may
simply be part of V.34, rather than actually being called V.34bis.
