Not quite sure how this was intended, whether was support for Telebit or
flame....  I only have this to say --- I just bought a T2500, and have been
very pleased since day 1 with the fact that it not only does PEP, but also
V.32.  It also adds MNP 4 and 5, as well as V.42 and V.42bis.  All of this
adds up to basically one thing --- I connect to just about any high-speed
modem out there at high speed.  In some cases (sorry, Telebit), V.42bis
compression, combined with V.42 error detection and V.32 gets better 
throughput than PEP.

My serial port, which crawls along at a maximum speed of 19.2 (  :-)  :-)   ),
becomes the major limiting factor in how fast I can go......  As an owner
of the T2500, regardless of how the original note was intended, I must state
that this clearly was not a waste of time in my books.

For what it's worth (or isn't worth)......
