thanks --- you saved me from digging through the manual myself to answer
this one....  there is quite definitely a way to make the T2500 cycle 
through the lower speed stuff, and then do PEP last.  several of the
systems I call have their modem setup this way.  when calling them, I
set MY S50=255 for PEP only (my dialer does this automagically).  the
modem then waits until it hears the PEP answer tones.

I don't mean this to be a RTFM --- please don't take it that way, but 
the documentation for the T2500 is really quite good (excellent, in 
fact!!) --- when you read the descriptions on registers, be sure to follow
the pointers to other related registers....you'd be surprised at what you 
find.
