Subject: Will T2500 cycle all speeds if S50=3?

     Because several of my local callers have old and/or dimwitted modems
that get confused and can't connect if I set my T2500's S50 register to 0
(automatic speed determination, with either PEP or V.32 tones first,
depending on S92) I presently have S50=3.  That sends 2400bps tones first
and the local folx are happy, but as I read the manual (it's not totally
clear on this point -- or maybe it is but I just don't like what I'm read-
ing...) the modem is ONLY going to cycle among 2400-1200-300bps and NEVER
send PEP or V.32 tones.  Is this correct?  Is there a register setting that
will start with 2400bps tones but still cycle through ALL the others and
give a fast connect to somebody calling in PEP or V.32 mode?  The reason
this has suddenly become significant is that I have groff 1.0 binaries for
ISC Unix that I want to make available to the world in general via anon-uucp
and while nobody around here ever calls in PEP mode I expect that people
looking for groff would want a high-speed connection only (it's not as big
as emacs but it's still a whopper.)
                                                Thanks
