I just spoke with the people at telebit this afternoon.  You might want to
be on your guard about the PEP 9600 bd protocal.  The modems great for communicating with other t1000s and all other telebit modems that use PEP.  But, only 
telebit uses pep.  The standard 9600 bd protocal is v.32.  The vt2500 (i think)
is the telebit modem that uses standard v.32 protocal and costs nearly twice
as much.
