No. Two Telebit Pluses (getting a bit decrepit now, must be about three years 
old) for uucp dialup. The are locked at 19.2, and answer only in PEP mode. 
(2400 bps users have their own lines.) 

We have a T2500 used to for the slip line. It dials on DTR to connect to our
other end in V.32 mode. We tried PEP but didn't like it. Our traffic is
mostly nntp news and smtp mail. And the PEP mode introduced delays to the
IHAVE/SENDME messages that nntp uses. The overall throughput for nnpt is
higher with V.32.

Havn't really measured it. We're just happy when it all works. About all we
did was compare the average number of articles received via nntp to compare
PEP and V.32. I don't have any stat's on kbps throughput for ftp.
