Line 1: ==V.92== V.92, V.90, etc are not serial protocols; they are modem protocols, allowing digital communications over analog phone lines. It is perfectly feasible to use ZMODEM et al without modems. I'm reverting, since it would be inaccurate to call V.92 a serial protocol. [[User:Rhobite\|Rhobite]] 21:04, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC) :I was not using the term "serial" in the sense of a [[serial port]] connection, but rather in contrast to non-serial (i.e., sequential) protocols schemes such as [[TCP/IP]] in which packets do not necessarily need to be received in sequence. I acknowledge that protocols like ZMODEM do not require a modem, but to take your logic even further, modems do not necessarily require an RS-232 connection. If you are intent on clarifying the article (and I do not dispute that it needs clarification) there is surely a better way than by referring to RS-232. —[[User:Psychonaut\|Psychonaut]] 21:12, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
