                              A High Speed Modem

                              ==================


Are you thinking of going to a High speed modem?


2400 baud can be very slow for transfering large files.

Modems advertised as 4800 are really only 2400 with data compression such

as MNP-5 or even just software data compression. Don't be fooled.

A 9600 or faster modem will make a tremendous difference on your transfer time.

Most 9600 Baud users never want to go back to 2400. There is a lot of confusion

and mis-information about 9600 Baud and faster Modems. I wrote this to help

clarify and point out the differences between the different modems available

for MS-DOS machines.


If price is no object, the Best modem to get for BBS use is the USRobotics

Dual Standard. It is a combination of the HST 14400 Baud modem and a

V.32/V.42 modem all rolled into one modem.


If price is an Issue, (like it is to most people) then you may want to consider

a Standard HST 14.4k, or a different Brand if that is also too expensive.

But if you do not buy a USRobotics Modem, you will not be able to hook up to

a Standard USR HST 14.4k, which is the most Common BBS Modem.


Other then USR, you could get a V.32 or V.32/V.42 compatable modem for about 

25% less then a Standard HST, or you could get a 9600 FAX/Modem for less then

half the cost of a V.32  See the price comparisons at the end.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                                  STANDARDS

  =========



At one Time Hayes was the standard in modems. All other modems tryed to be 

"Hayes Compatible". This is still true with 1200 and 2400 bps modems,

but NOT when it comes to 9600 or faster modems. Hayes established a Standard

called the AT command set. Other modem manufacturers quickly adopted this

standard and the AT commands are still used today (with a few commands added).


Well Along Came USRobotics, and designed the HST, a proprietary 9600 modem

that quickly became popular, and no one else was allowed to duplicate. 

Hayes then also came out with a proprietary 9600 modem, but since it could not

talk to the HST at 9600 it never became popular in the IBM world.

Next USR improved their HST modem, making it transfer at 14400 bps without

even using data compression. 

USR's HST became the standard for MS-DOS compatable High Speed modems.


Realizing that the industry needed a "non-proprietary" 9600 standard that

any manufacturer could use, the CCITT came up with the V.32 specification.

It took a several years before modem manufactures started finding ways to

implement this standard at a price competitive to HST, but a few manufactures

started producing them, including Hayes. Next the CCITT relized that better

error correction and data compression methods existed, and thus came up with

the V.42 and .V42 bis standard. They are currently finalizing the V.32bis

specification, which will also run at 14,000 Baud in full duplex.


Now Modem Manufactures all seem to be jumping on the V.32 Bandwagon,

Even USR offers V.32/V.42 modems and allows the HST's to be upgraded to

a "Dual-Standard" so it can be both HST and V.32/V.42 in one.

The New HSTs also have V.42bis and can be upgraded to the new V.32bis DS.

The price Difference between the HST and the HST-DS is considerable though,

which is why Most BBS Sysops still buy the HST without the "DS" option.

The V.32/V.42 have become the standard in the Macintosh world, and some

MS-DOS BBS's are now running V.32/V.42 instead of supporting the HST,

and some are supporting both types, using multiple lines.


Fax Machines have had their own standards, CCITT V.27, V.27ter, and V.29

define the modulation scheme used for Fax, and T.30 defines a Fax Protocol. 

Fax Machines nowdays can transfer Faxs at 4800 or 9600 Baud. Most Fax/Modems

can only transfer files at 2400 Baud. There is now one Fax/Modem which can

also transfer files at 9600 bps, and is far less expensive then the V.32/V.42s,

plus offer the benefits of a Fax machine. 


---------------------------------------------------------------------------


                               The CCITT

               =========


The International Consultive Committee for Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT)

set the V.32, V.42, and V.42bis Standards in 9600 bps communications.

They have also set the standards of 1200 and 2400 bps in Europe.

Unfortuntly the V.32 standard is very expensive to implement for the

modem manufactures, and the HST has already become the industry standard

in the IBM BBS world. But since any company may manufacture V.32/42 Modems

without a licence or royalty, there is more price-competition going on

with these then with the HST, which currently has no true competition. 


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


  Half Duplex Vs. Full Duplex

                        ===========================


Half-Duplex is When Data is Transmited in one Direction at a time.

Full-Duplex is both directions at once. 2400 buad modems are Full-Duplex.

The HST Modem uses an improved form of Half-Duplex, in which one direction is

transfering at high speed while the other direction is sending ACK/NAK signals

at a slower speed. A simular method is used on the Speedmodem.


V.32 modems use Full duplex, which in most cases does not improve performance

when used on a BBS. There is one way to take full advantage of a Full-Duplex

Modem: By using a protocol called Bimodem to upload and Download as the same

time at 9600 bps in each direction! Unfortunately Bimodem has not become very

popular. Most BBS's and users still use one direction transfer protocols such

as Zmodem or YModem-G.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                        What is MNP, HST, V.32, V.42?

                        =============================


                                     MNP

MNP (Microcomm Network Protocol) levels 1-4 are methods of error correction

in which the two modems connected verify the integrity of the data transmitted.

Error correction is required for several streaming protocols such as Ymodem-G

in which the protocol sends a constant stream of data and lets the modems do

the error correction. This requires a clean, noise free line as streaming

protocols will abort if line noise interferes too much.

These MNP Levels are used in almost all High Speed Modems Made today, But

Just because two modems both have MNP it does not ensure that they will both

talk to each other (at over 2400 baud).


MNP Level 5 is for data compression. Since All BBS's have their files archived

in ZIP, LZH, GIF or some such compressed format (try to ZIP a LZH file), MNP5

can actually increase the overhead by attempting to compress the file further.

Therefore BBS's leave MNP5 turned off, and so should the BBS callers.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                                  HST


HST stands for "High Speed Technology" - a method of communicating at high

speeds whech was developed by US Robotics in 1984. HST is a proprietary

method so currently only US Robotics is allowed to Make HST Compatible Modems.

The original HST modems were 9600 bps by using a 9200 bps channel in one

direction and a 450 bps "back channel" in the other to send ACK/NAK

signals for confirmation of data - a half duplex mode - often referred to

as "ping-ponging". In 1989 USR improved the HST to run at 14400 bps by further

optimizing their proprietary method. All HST's sold now include the 144k

speed as well as the original 9600 mode. Because the HST 14.4k is a raw speed,

It allows the HST to transfer pre compressed files such as ZIPs at faster

speeds then any other 9600 modem: over 1700 Characters per second.


The HST has become the "BBS-Standard" in high-Speed Modems. More BBS's use

the HST then any othe type of modem, including the V.32. 


As of January 1st 1991 all HST modems also include the V.42/V.42bis error

correction and data compression (not to be confused with V.32).


The HST's can also be upgraded to the HST "Dual Standard" allowing it to also

be V.32bis compatable. The price is significant for this upgrade however,

and in very few cases is any speed gained.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                                   V.32 


V.32 is a 9600 Baud standard that was established by the CCITT back in 1984.  

V.32 is full duplex (9600 bps in both directions at once). Normally this would

be impossible, but using a technique called "echo cancellation", one modem

can filter its own tones from the phone line, enabling it to pick out the

signals from the other modem. However, echo cancellation requires that high

speed modems include built-in digital signal processor (DSP) chips, which is

the main reason V.32 and V.42 costs so much. 

V.32 also includes a fallback to 4800, if line noise becomes a problem at 9600.

The V.32 standard also provides an optional error-reduction sceme, called

"trellis-coded modulation (TCM). TCM allows 9600 modems to check for

transmision errors with a redundancy bit, which results in fewer errors on

noisy lines. Most V.32's include this option, but some do not.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                                 V.32bis


It was first realized in 1989 that it is feasible to push V.32 up to 14,400

baud, the same speed as the HST now runs. This requires even better echo

cancellers and an overall improvment in reciver quality, so it will be 

more costly to produthen the V.32 to produce. V.32bis has not yet officially been

finalized CCITT, but as of January 1st US Robotics has started shipping

a new version of their Dual Standard Modem which includes V.32bis in an early

but functional form. USR plans to update their DS ROMS when the CCITT actually

release the completed V.32bis specification, scheduled for mid 1991.

It's expected that other Modem manufacturers will not be able to offer the

V.32bis technology untill the 4th quarter of 1991.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                                   V.42


V.42 is nothing to do with actual modem speed, but how how the error correction

and data compression schemes interface. When the CCITT approved V.42 in 1988,

they desided to include two differnt error correction and data compression

schemes. The first one is MNP,(short for Microcom Networking Protocol).

MNP classes 2, 3, & 4 which handle error correction. Note that MNP-5 was not

included in the V.42 standard because it is only used for data compression.

MNP was made an offical standard due to the large number of modems that

currently use it. The Second method is the prefered method, known as LAP-M

(Link Access Protocol-Modem). A modem with only MNP is called "V.42 Compatible"

and one with LAP-M its known as "V.42 Compliant". If a V.42 Compliant connected

to a V.42 compatible, it would first try to Handshake with LAP-M, and after it

relized that the othe modem is not Compliant, it would try the MNP Method, and

they connect.


Most V.42 modems are fully V.32 compatable, but they do NOT have to be,

according to CCITT guidelines. So when purchasing a V.42, make sure that

it is really a V.32 Modem that is also V.42 complient or compatable.

There are now some 2400 baud modems which are also V.42bis compliant,

so since the LAP-M gives 4:1 data compression they are advertised as

"9600 throughput", which really can be misleading and confusing.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                                 V.42bis


V.42bis is a new CCITT standard for data compression techniques, which was

appoved in late 1989. To Support V.42bis, a modem MUST support both LAP-M and

MNP-5, unlike the Standard V.42 in which LAP-M is only an option. V.42 provides

a maximum data compression of 4:1, giving a 9600 bps modem a throughput up to

38400 bps. MNP only offers 2:1 Compression. Like MNP-5, LAP-M and V.42bis will

not be effective when transfering compressed files from BBS's, such as ZIP

files. Since V.42 is implemented in firmware, many V.42 complient modems can

be upgraded to V.42bis with a new ROM.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                               Speedmodem


A less expensive method of 9600 bps communication can be achieved without

using the CCITTs method of "echo cancellation", so that the a digital signal

processor is not needed, making the cost much less expensive.

This method is used on the Compucom Speedmodem. The Speedmodem also uses

Dynamic Impedance Stabilization (DIS) to increase the relability of the

telephone interfaces signal-to-noise ratio of the telephone line by increasing

the clarity and power of the signal, and automatically compensating for

impedence variations on the phone line. This reduces the probibility of

line noise, allowing the Protocols to transfer files with less overhead

It also has a faster fallback rate of 7200 bps if too much line noise exists

for 9600 communications. This makes the Speedmodem stand up to worse line

noise conditions at a faster rate then V.32 can handle.

The Speedmodem is also a 9600 bps Group III Facsimile, so with this modem,

you can send document and scanned images as a Fax, as well as recive Faxs.

It supports BitFAX by Bitcom and any other 3rd party FAX software which 

uses the standard CCITT AT-FAX command set.

A Data Compression called CSP (CompuCom Speed Protocol) is used to yeld a

compression of up to 4:1, giving a throughput of up to 38400 bps.

This however, like MNP5 will not be effective when transfering compressed

files from BBS's, such as ZIP files.


DIS and CPS are proprietary methods owned by CompuCom, Sunnyvale, CA.

Because this modem is inexpensive more people can afford to buy it, and since

its both a FAX and a Modem in one, it should gain popularity quickly. 

It is still a new product, but hundreds of BBS's are showing support for it.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                               What Next?


By mid 1991 the V.32bis standard will be finialized, and by that years end

the several 14,400 Bps full duplex modems will be on the market.

There is already talk of the CCITT releasing another standard in 1992,

which will be for 192,000 bps. Since these modems are expected to cost

consideribly more then the V.32s currently on the market, they will be

out of the price range of most BBS users.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



                           WHAT TO LOOK FOR


THROUGHPUT:

==========


You'll see ads claiming that you can attain 19,200 bps or 38,400 bps

with a 9600 Baud modem - this is true only if you are using MNP5 or other

form of data compression on an uncompressed data or text file. Any 9600 Baud

modem using compression will transfer at that effective rate. 

But for BBS use, where files are already compressed (such as ZIPs, LZHs, GIFs)

MNP5 will actually slow down throughput by attempting to compress a file that

is already compressed. Generally when using a modem for BBS transfers, its

the RAW speed of the Modem and not the throughput which is important.


Figures of around 1700 cps by the HST modems are attained through proprietary

methods not available on other modems.



CONFIGURABILITY:

================

In High Speed Modems, there is a lot more to configure than on a 2400 Baud

modem. Be sure your modem comes with NRAM (Non-volatile Random Access Memory)

that can store your modem configuration, making long init strings unnessesary.

Also many modems have dip switches to set the default configuration, which

also simplys things. If you buy an Internal Modem, be sure its fully

Configurable as far as selecting the com port and IRQ (interupt request)

setting. Some modems can be addressed from Com1: up to COM8:



UARTS

=====

Internal Modems have a serial port built in, and External Modems use an

existing Serial Port in the computer. A serial port has a UART chip to buffer

and control the Input/Output (I/O). The XT usually has an 8450 UART which will

handle up to 9600 Baud. The AT usually has the 16450. If you have an external

modem you should replace your UART with the 16550 (NS16550AN).



INTERNAL or EXTERNAL

====================

MS-DOS Users can choose internal modems, that plug in a computers slot,

or external, which plugs into an existing serial port with a serial cable.

Internals are usually less expensive, take up less space, have the correct UART

already installed (see below) and don't need a cable. But the Externals usually

have a lot of little lights on it that you can stare at, and its easier to move

to another machine. So which ever you prefer (or is available in some cases). 




If Considering a USRobotics Modem

=================================

You only need to worry about weather you want the HST

(which can be upgraded later), or the Dual Standard

which is the same modem with the V.32bis option included.



If Considering a V.32/V.42 Modem

========================================

Some questions to ask:


Can you afford the USR "DS" instead?

Is it both V.32 and V.42 compatible?

Is it V.42 compatible, V.42 compliant, or V.42bis?

If its not V.42bis or compliant, can it be upgraded?

Do Local/National BBS's support it?

Would you rather wait a year for a V.32bis?

What is the warranty? 5 years?



If Considering a FAX/Modem

==============================

some questions to ask:


Is it Send and Recive Fax?

Does it support 3rd party FAX software?

Is it 4800 or 9600 bps?

Does it support MNP?

Does it support other compression?

Do Local/National BBS's support it?

What is the Warranty? 5 Years?


---------------------------------------------------------------------------



                    Modem Compatibility Listing:

                    ============================



These modems will usually be downwardly compatible with 2400 Baud and slower

modems, Which means they are also CITTY V.22bis and Bell 103/212A compatible.

Most have an auto-fallback mode that will detect the highest negotiable Baud

rate, which can either through hardware or software configuration. 

If the modem is V.42 capable, it will fall back to MNP if the other modem is

not LAP-M  capable, but is MNP capable. Modems supporting MNP will connect

with data compression/error correction with other MNP modems at the highest

Baud rate negotiable between the two. The speeds listed here are the actual

Raw speed, not possible throughput that can be achieved using data compression.

                          Price Comparasons

                          =================


No Prices have been stated above this Section, because prices often change,

and I want to keep all the prices together so they could be quickly updated

as needed. There are 3 types of prices I will cover. First is The Retail price,

second is the Sysop price, which is only available if you run a BBS.


Many Modem Manufactures offer BBS Sysop special prices directly, at about

50% off the retail price. First the BBS has to be verified, so the modem

manufacture knows that is is a real BBS that has been running for at least

6 Months, and has a minimum number of users, ect. Usually the Manufacturer

will call the BBS once, or twice a few week apart to be sure. Verification

usually take 3-4 weeks. Then the Sysop has to agree to use the Modem on the

BBS for some set amount of time.
