Well, one can argue that at least with AT&T you are paying for the call in 
chunks of a minute anyway.  (And with alternate l-d services you stand a good
chance of not being able to use PEP mode at all -- according to recent 
discussions here.)

Indeed.  It's too bad that the initial PEP tones have such a great likelihood 
of annoying 2400 bps modems.
