No!  V.32bis is a 14.4 kbps full-duplex transmission standard.  That's raw;
compression is part of the V.42(bis) error-checking protocol on top.

Toby Nixon posted an excellent summary about 6 weeks back.

Sorry, but you are.  V.32bis is V.32 on steroids.  There's no compression,
error checking (except for the forward error correction), or such.
