Or is the -> HST just as fast and perhaps faster than the telebit? the t2500 runs with the v.32 standard, giving 9600 bps capability. it also runs with PEP, a proprietary protocol, giving up to 19200 bps operation. other models offer variations on this, such as the trailblazer plus, which offers the PEP protocol, but no v.32. all telebit modems fully implement the slower protocols (v.22bis, bell 212a, v.22, bell 103). i *believe* the hst modem implements the v.32bis standard to achieve 14400 bps, and this would make it more useful in the future when the standard becomes more widespread. PEP, being proprietary, will not spread beyond telebit modems. ---andrew andrew@postmod.uucp uunet!postmod!andrew
