No you are probably wrong here, I didn't observe any problems with V.42/V.42bis in last 3 years. Though compatibility problems with different _V.34_ implementations -- oh yeah. There were some... and pretty non-obvious ones. Namely with Rockwell chipsets and "all others", and with USR Sportsters 33.6 and "all others", some time ago.
