PE> Which section would that be in?  Presumably not the bit that says:

PE> 29:30 Trellis encoder select bits:
PE> 0 = 16 state, 1 = 32 state, 2 = 64 state, 3 = reserved for ITU
PE> Receiver REQUIRES remote-end transmitter

RS> Again, you are reading to much into the specific wording

PE> NOTE - Source modem does not use bits 29-32, and should set these bits to 0

PE> So Rod, just where does the transmitter get to select
PE> maximum supported trellis-encoding, when it is SPECIFICALLY
PE> REQUIRED to zero out the bits that deal with trellis coding?

So try explaining how the calling modem says that it supports a
maximum of 16S trellis coding, when it has to zero-out all the
bits.  Have fun.

RS> Now try explaining how the rockwell chipsets which
RS> dont have 64S actually manage to work Paul. Have fun.

What evidence do you have that the Rockwell does not acknowledge
the called USR's request for 64S?  BFN.  Paul.
