I guess it depends on who you plan to communicate with -

We have the Hayes V.42, USR HST and Telebit T2000 here at NSTAR -
none of the modems have V.32 - but other than that we cover most
bases.  All the high speed news connections are on the PEP and
Hayes V.42, while the HST and Hayes V.42 also support the BBS
users (DOS users) and the Unix BBS users call in on the PEP.

Your price for the T2500 is excellent!
