v.42 is an error correction protocol, v.42 bis is a compression protocol.
v.42bis requires v.42 to function. All modern modems do v.42/bis
regardless of their connection speed -- v.32, v.32bis, v.34, and v.90 are
all examples of connection speed protocols, as opposed to error
correction or compression.
