While listening to Ian Smith Pete heard:USR Courier V.8

G'day Ian

 SL> The thing is, these V.8 tones don't do anything to performance
 SL> as far as I can see and don't annoy me that much. I just wanted
 SL> to know what the beeping noises were.

 PC> I found with V.8 tones disabled i could only get a v.fc connect
 PC> to  a M34F with them enabled i got v.34/28800

 IS> Something Craig Ford (among other people, at other times) has
 IS> said is that V.8 negotiation is required to do V.34.  Can any
 IS> modem negotiate V.34 without it?

 IS> I'll just quote the relevant part of Craig's message to jim
 IS> barchuk, as it also discusses other issues that aren't relevant
 IS> ..

[info noted]
 
 SL> BTW, what does V.8 do?  The Courier manual says
 SL> "ITU-T recommendation that defines procedures for starting and
 SL> ending sessions of data transmission". Clear enough, I guess.

 PC> Yep really spells it out for us. :-)

 IS> I'd like to hear about it in a little more detail, too ..
 IS> anyone?

I've since found if i just disable the V.8 CI tones i still get a V34
connect it's only when i disable V.8 all together that i only get a
V.FC connect.
