V.17
An ITU-T standard for facsimile operations that specifies
modulation at 14.4K bps, with fallback to 12K bps.
V.21Fax

from overseas.
V.22
A 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 communications at 1200 bps
with a 75 bps back channel. Used in the U.K.
