  Uhmmm, I assume this was just a mistake since neither the T2500 nor the
T1600 support V.32bis.  Nor are they likely to ...

P.S.  I also agree with George Robbins about Telebit not committing
    publicly to V.32bis.  However, unlike George, I'm not committed to PEP
    in the least and am planning as large a move away from it as possible.
    I'm planning on replacing every T1000 modem in our group with either
    V.32 or V.32bis modems.  Once they are mostly gone I will replace
    the dial in modems also.  I.e. My sole commitment to Telebit is and
    has been their willingness to treat me right, offer me good solutions
    at a decent price and a commitment to always offering a hardware
    upgrade path.

    I've talked with some people at Telebit and now feel a bit better
    about the situation, but not a lot.  So far all I've gotten is hand
    holding (which is better than the wall of silence I was getting.)  In
    the mean time other modem companies are falling over themselves to
    talk to me and offer far better prices than Telebit -- on V.32bis.
    We're *not* talking about fly-by-night companies either.

    As it stands now, as soon as I finish evaluating V.32bis modems here
    in about a month, I will start buying.  And I doubt very much whether
    they will be Telebits.  I'm not happy about this because I've liked
    Telebit in the past and I have a great relationship with our Telebit
    distributor.
