  • V.21 A full duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 300 bit/s, also operating at 300 baud.
  • V.22 A full duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 1200 bit/s.
  • V.22bis A full duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 2400 bit/s.
  • V.23 A half duplex comminications protocol allowing two analog modems to signal each other at 1200 bit/s.
  • V.24 List of definitions for interchange circuits between data terminal equipment (DTE) and data circuit terminating equipment (DCE) - equivalent to EIA RS 232, defined in ISO 2110.
  • V.25
  • V.26
  • V.26bis

  • V.28
  • V.29 A comminications protocol allowing two fax to signal each other at 9600 bit/s
  • V.32 A family of 2-wire, duplex modems operating at data signalling rates of up to 9600 bit/s, full duplex for use on the general switched telephone network and on leased telephone-type circuits.
  • V.32bis A duplex modem operating at data signalling rates of up to 14 400 bit/s for use on the general switched telephone network and on leased point-to-point 2-wire telephone-type circuits, with fallback to 12000 bits/s. This standard was improved on by modem manufacturers to create the V.terbo adhoc standard, signalling at 19,2 kb/s, as suggestive of a V.32ter standard that never materialized.
  • V.34 is the ITU-T standard for full-duplex data communications up to 28,000 bit/s with fallback to lower speeds depending on the remote modem ant the conditions of the phone line. This standard was known informally as V.Fast, hence pre-standard modems called V.FC (V.FastClass).
  • V.34+ (aka V.34bis) A communications protocol for full-duplex datacommunications up to 33,6 kb/s between two analog modems on dial-up lines.
  • V.42 Error correction protocol
  • V.42bis Data compression procedures for data circuit terminating equipment (DCE) using error correction procedures to try to ensure the transfer of error-free data, even over the noisiest telephone lines. Ratified by CCITT in January 1990.
  • V.44 Data compression protocol
  • V.90 A digital modem and analogue modem pair for use on the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) at data signalling rates of up to 56 000 bit/s downstream and up to 33 600 bit/s upstream, using PCM encoding downstream, and QAM encoding upstream. V.90 Mode 2 used PCM upstream as well. This standard was known informally as V.Last and some pre-standard modems indicate V.Last compatibility or upgradeability. Prior to the arrival of the standard, there were two competing industry standards for 56 kb/s downstream signalling, X2 and K56flex. K56flex itself is a merged standard of K56 and 56flex.
  • V.92 A digital modem and analog modem pair for use on POTS at data signalling rates of up to 56 kbit/s downstream and up to 48 kbit/s upstream, using PCM encoding both ways, supporting Modem-on-Hold technology. This is a development of V.90 Mode 2.
