Actually Telebit forgot the Protocol Support field.  The line I typed in
comes straight from the T1600 manual (#90156-01 rev A, Appendix C, page 3).
The following page gives the list of link suffixes (nothing, REL, LAPM),
compression suffixes (nothing, COMP), and other speed suffixes (...).

So the manual is both incomplete and incorrect.  Par for the course in
technical documentation these days.

Other than that, it's a real nice modem!
