PEP which is great for file transfers but not so hot for interactive work. V-32 which is better for interactive work not so great for long distance phone lines. If you want something a little cheaper and you just want V-32 look at the two Multitech V-32 modems. I believe the model numbers are 932ea and 932eb which adds v-42bis. The second modem is a little more expensive than the first but worth the extra money. I use quite a few of the Multitechs and they are quite reliable and a good buy for the money. In my experience (humble opinion) A PEP connection is more reliable over ex- treme long distances and will move data faster if thats your goal. We have about 50 of the Multitech v-32 modems hooked up at employees homes to our Callback system and they work quite well for interactive use. Of course modems are magic anyway your results may vary. Vernon I speak for myself and what I see. This has nothing to do with my Employer.etc
