Just for your information, TELEBIT will be announcing a new, low-cost
V.32 modems in the next 1-2 months based on their own DSP implementation.
From what I've been told by TELEBIT, it will be a while before this new
modem has V.32bis or the V.32 Rockwell option (12 kbps) enabled in any of
its current, new, or future modems.  With the T1500 currently at a
$1095 list price, and the T1000 at $795 list, I would look for the
new modem, T1600, to be at $895 list.  Not much of a help to those
competing in the V.32 modem wars...

The T1600 is V.32 only, not PEP capable at all.  It is the second generation
of TELEBIT technology.  It makes room for some spectacular new products
that will change a lot of the way modems are used in bus-based systems.
The T1600 also features a 'true' 38.4 kbps interface.

Hope this helps.
