The problem is that we on this side of the rusty Iron Curtain still
have problems getting some high-tech from the other side. E.g.
T2500 blinking on the desk next to me is, to my knowledge, on the
COCOM list because of it's DSP. We managed to get the device thru
a long chain of resellers. V.32bis (apart from it's doubtfull
usefulness in the SU) is, no doubt, also restricted. Don't know
much about the V.32. And without this technology dial-up IP is really
useless.
