I agree.  V.32 (and especially V.32bis) might be nice, but if you
want to know what PEP is all about, wait until you have a phone line
that won't support V.22bis (2400 bps) reliably.  I had one until 
a year ago, and I could get about 4800 bps with PEP, while my V.22bis
modems (Octocomm, Racal and others) all dropped back to V.22 _if they
could connect at all_.

Also, for trans-Atlantic (or trans-almost-anything) links, there is
nothing (IMNASHO) to beat a Trailblazer.  I hope that Telebit can
stay alive, 'cos I want some more T2500s (or whatever their newer
PEP modem will be).
