 V.Fast Class is a trademark of Rockwell, for their modem standard.
 Seems like I've never heard of this 'file transfer protocol' V.Fast.

 ...which is probably why I've never heard of it: nobody here uses it
 either.
 But some have used the V.FC modems, and most of them will curse at the
 name.  Why someone would want to use that name for a file protocol is
 a bit puzzling, especially since it's trademarked.
