What does V.90 mean?
v.90 (pronounced “V-dot-ninety”) is the name of the international standard agreed on for all 56K modems Before that standard was reached, there were two different proprietary standards for 56K modems: one called x2 and supported by 3Com/U.S. Robotics; the other called K56flex and supported by Rockwell and Lucent.
A. The term V.90 refers to the international standard for 56K (56 kilobits per second) analog modem technology. When 56K modems began to appear in stores in 1997, two different types were available: X2, created by the 3Com Corporation (which owns the modem maker U.S. Robotics) and K56flex, developed by Rockwell Semiconductor Systems and Lucent Technologies. The two modems used different — and incompatible — technology to transmit data. Many consumers didn’t know which kind to buy, and many Internet service providers supported only one or the other. If you tried to connect at top speed to an I.S.P. that supported only the other kind of 56K, you would connect at a slower rate. Last February, a technology for 56K modems called V.90 was agreed upon by an international standards committee in Switzerland. The V.90 standard is finally unifying the 56K modem market. I.S.P.’s are beginning to support V.90, and if you own a 56K modem, you should check with its manufacturer to see if you can up

Q.9) How long can I be logged into your system before I’m knocked off? On our network, we try to give all the time you need to do what you need without wasting access to other customers. Our polices about knocking off customers is only if they stay idle for over 10 minutes. We have no policy concerning the total time you can spend online per month, however, we ask that you are actively using the connection while logged in. Q.10) Why do I sometimes get busy signals? VIP PowerNet works hard to eliminate busy signals, but they are still an occasional fact of life on the Internet. You get a busy signal if too many VIP PowerNet members are trying to connect to the Internet using t
