The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), one of the organizations working on forming international standards for communications, announced the ratification of the V.90 standard for 56K modems. Before the ratification of the V.90 standard, there were two proposed standards for 56K modems, x2 and k56flex. The optional internal 56K modem supports both the V.90 and k56flex standards.
