I am thinking of buying a T2500, however one site that I call is
planning on getting V.29 9600 baud modems.  I understand that the
T2500 does PEP and V.32.  I was kind of hoping that V.29 was a subset
of V.32.  If this isn't the case, are there modems that can do both?

The CS department here is thinking of buying a bank of V.29 modems.  Is
it reasonable for us to buy a bank of V.29, but not V.32 modems?  Or
should I go try to convince the administrators that V.29 + PEP, or V.32
is almost as inexpensive?

Is it usually the case that T2500's can work at 9600 or better across
the country?  How about from Boston to Japan?

Where is a good place to buy the T2500 (or whatever you recommend)
and what should I expect to pay?

I currently have a pair of USR Courier HST modems that I bought for
$625 apiece, what are used HST's selling for now?  The HST's work fine,
but only with each other at 9600 baud.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can lend,
