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

It's french, and it means more or less "again, more of the same".
"Enhanced" in other words.

Nope.  Like Lewis Carrol, a word means exactly what they want it to mean.

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

Rockwell, and a group of fellow traveler modem manufacturers.

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

It's not standardized.  "V." implies that it's an international
standard, with the V.nnn specifying where in the book you look.

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

Well, there's a few.
