   When I spoke to the technocritters at Telebit, they revealed that their PEP 
buffers are 1.75K.  USR specs say that their HST's buffers are 1.5K, though bit 
8 (I think) of S15 cuts that to 128 bytes if the modem connection is without 
error correction (you're stuck with large buffers if you're talking to another 
HST, or an MNP or V.42 modem).

The mile is traversed not by a single leap, but by a procession of coherent 
steps; those who insist on making the trip in a single element will be failing
