My experience with Forval wasn't a pleasant one.  They promised me the
world and delivered nothing.  They announced V.32bis well before anyone
else (at least that I saw) in Data Communications magazine.  I called
them and they said the modems would be ready in a few weeks (this was
last fall).  I ordered a couple on evaluation and never got any.  

They also said they would have 19200/76800 baud support early 1991, 
but I haven't heard anything from them since last fall.
