PE> I interpret the V34 spec to say that 64, 32 and 16-state trellis
PE> coding are REQUIRED.  However, it is in the hands of the answering
PE> modem to CHOOSE any one of the 3.  So in the case of you calling my
PE> M34F, it may well be that the M34F always asks for 16-state trellis
PE> coding.  What evidence do you have that when the USR is CALLED by an
PE> M34F, that it DEMANDS 64-state trellis coding and is then REFUSED?

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

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

DD> It responds with 16.

PE> Just run it by me again.  Why is there
PE> two numbers shown, one 64 and one 16?

You get 64 state in one direction, 16 state trellis in the other.

PE> The # states is not something that both modems need to agree on?

Thats right, it doesnt have to be the same for each part of the
full duplex session. Thats where you are having your brain fart.
