V.90 and V.92 are related to faxing.  V.92 gives you the 33.6kbps faxing
option listed on the linked page as,
                                                                            
 "Class 1.0 and Class 2.1 faxing at speeds to V.34/33.6K bps (Super G3)."   
                                                                            
 I'm running four multitech modems in Class 1.0 with the current CVS head   
 with great success and I'm seeing probably 25% (give or take) of the faxes 
 coming in using speeds greater than 14,400.  If you're doing outgoing      
 faxes, this would result in saved money due to decreased long distance     
 costs.  My setup is mostly incoming, but this also helps in handling more  
 calls with fewer modems (I would like to think so at least).               
                                                                            
 Chris
