PE> I interpret the V34 spec to say that 64, 32 and 16-state

DD> Check the stats from when your M34F called this Sportster. It is still 
DD> showing 16 for your trellis and 64 for mine.

Ah, one step ahead of me.

PE> I suspect that the M34F will indeed respond to any demand 
PE> for 64-state trellis coding.  

DD> It responds with 16.

Just run it by me again.  Why is there two numbers shown, one 64
and one 16?  The # states is not something that both modems need
to agree on?  BFN.  Paul.
