Once upon a time Derek Balling shaped the electrons to say...
>I was always under the impression that "v.Fast" was "v.34" and "v.FC" or

Nope. V.FAST and V.FC (aka V.Fast-Class) were *competing* systems for 28.8
that were both superceded by the V.34 spec.

V.FAST came first, and V.FAST-CLASS followed to compete - being in the same
class. I believe there was some sabre rattling about the name and it became
V.FC
