It should be noted that PSI has officially stated that they are moving
away from *new* PEP installations, and focusing on V.32.
In my miserable opinion, I think this is a mistake.

The best throughput I think I have *ever* seen from a T2500 (without
compression, since it was batched compressed news) is about 1330 cps.
I ordinarily see something on the order of 1100 cps daily.
I don't think you will ever see over 1400. Anyone seen better?
