Both companies were out quickly with firmware that made their DSP-based chipsets fully compliant with the ITU-T V.34 28.8-kbps standard.
Semiconductor manufacturers and modem makers alike had been positioning themselves to meet the standard since it was first outlined some five years ago. For Rockwell (Newport Beach, CA), the switch to V.34 required only adding the V. 34 code to its existing 28.8-kbps V.Fast Class ...
