We dont actually know that it is Bill, particularly when other V32bis
modems have had problems with Spirit Thunders with the V32terbo mode enabled.

Basically, V32terbo is very kludgy hack to V32bis, just fiddling with
the constellation pattern, and not properly integrated into V32bis at
the level of the session negotiation. Its hardly very surprising that
that approach can bite with hordes of V32bis modems already in the field.

Its also interesting that the Supra has NO problem whatever with
the rather less kludgy approaches like VFC and V34. Which both
happen to have the session negotiation stuff done properly.

Kludges can bite. Thats no news whatever.
