The CCITT has adopted a standard for 9600 baud full duplex modems
running over dial-up lines (V.32) which uses Trellis encoding (send
redundant bids and do forward error correction).  The design is based on
research done by AT&T.  Virtually all the modem vndors are working on
V.32 compatible products.  The only one I know to have hit the market
already is from British Telecom.

I would think it highly unlikely that any modem not compatilbe with V.32
will become a de facto standard.
