  Although no intermediate polar (IP) has been observed in recent years to
descend into a state of low rate of mass transfer, there are candidate stars
that appear to be already in intermediate and low states. V709 Cas is probably
an intermediate state IP; NSV 2872 appears to be a low state IP, and will
probably resemble the long orbital period IP V1072 Tau if it returns to a high
state. The enigmatic V407 Vul, which has had many interpretations as an
ultra-short period binary, has many resemblances to the pre-cataclysmic
variable V471 Tau, and may therefore be an IP precursor of quite long orbital
period, and not yet a fully fledged cataclysmic variable.
