According to modems@telebit.com, a new model supporting V.32bis 
will be available within this year. It is unclear if that device will
also include a improved version of PEP or not. But I strongly suggest
it will, since with V32bis you have 14KBps (without compression) what 
makes current PEP _NEARLY_ useless. Telebit will offer upgrade paths.

Yet another mistery is whether Telebit cares about FAX. Prometheus
does already have V32bis with FAX for $699 and they will implement 
EIA TR-29.2 (a standard for fax modem commands) within this summer.

from nobody else than Telebit.

PS: what about primary rate ISDN for the NetBlazer ?
