I have been around unix systems off and on since 6th edition, but am
relatively new to communications concerns.

Can someone enlighten me as to the similarities/differences between the
Telebit Trailblazer (which I often see mentioned in this group and
others), and the DCA Fastlink (which I have not yet seen mentioned, but
have had some experience with)?  I am particularly wondering how the
Trailblazer deals with suboptimal lines -- I think I understand what the
Fastlink does.

Related -- I see the term PEP used to refer to the Trailblazer's "fast"
mode.  What do the letters stand for?

email is fine -- I will summarize if there is interest.
