   While you're basically right, I thought that I should take the opportunity 
to fgrep the FidoNet nodelist for the HST, V32[bis], and PEP flags.

   The envelope, please:

PEP (Telebit Trailblazer multicarrier): 209

V32 (V.32 and V.32bis): 3058

HST: 4078

   OK, the HST wins... but it won't be long until V.32 is the standard of 
choice, especially with the number of HST sites that use Dual Standard 
modems.

NOTE: Sites using dual standard modems may have been counted twice, e.g. 
a T2500 will be counted as both PEP and V.32; an HST Dual Standard will count 
as both HST and V.32; Hayes V-Series Ultra Smartmodem 9600 will be counted as 
V.32.
