V.22
An ITU-T standard for modem communications at 1200 bps, compatible
with the Bell 212A standard observed in the U.S. and Canada.
V.22 bis
An ITU-T standard for modem communications at 2400 bps.
The standard includes an automatic link negotiation fallback to 1200 bps
and compatibility with Bell 212A/V.22 modems.
V.23
An ITU-T standard for modem communication at 1200 bps with a 75 bps
back channel. This standard is used in the U.K.
V.27ter
An ITU-T standard for facsimile operations that specifies modulation at
4800 bps, with fallback to 2400 bps.
V.29
An ITU-T standard for facsimile operations that specifies modulation at
9600 bps, with fallback to 7200 bps.
V.32
An ITU-T standard for modem communications at 9600 bps and 4800
bps. V.32 modems fall back to 4800 bps when line quality is impaired.
V.32 bis
An ITU-T standard that extends the V.32 connection range: 4800, 7200,
9600, 12000, and 14400 bps. V.32 bis modems fall back to the next lower
speed when line quality is impaired, fall back further as necessary, and
also fall forward (switch back up) when line conditions improve.

V.34
An ITU-T standard that currently allows data rates as high as 28,800bps.
V.34+
This is an enhancement to V.34 that enables data transfer rates as high
as 33,600 bps.
