operation in which keyboard input is sent to the modem,
which recognizes it as commands or passes it on to the
remote modem. Compare with command state.

V.32 An ITU protocol defining the frequency and
modulation used between two high-speed modems (9600,
4800 bps).
V.32 bis An ITU protocol defining the frequency and
modulation used between two high-speed modems (7200,
