Yes, I use a pair of t2500s for slip. They are used in v32 mode as
this is much faster for anything interactive (slower for ftp by a good
bit). If what you want is a good reliable v32 modem I would not
hesitate to advise the purchase of t2500s. If you are willing to put
up with a good deal of heartache in exchange for better performance,
get microcom QX/V.32c modems. At 38.4k they work really well with
slip. Unfortunately, my opinion is that they are poorly built, so they
are prone to infant mortality and unreliability.

I'm going to find them and I'm going to gnaw on their skulls with my very
own teeth. Because it still hasn't gotten weird enough for me.
