Telebit had a booth at SIGGRAPH, pushing Trailblazers for use in
transmitting images over phone lines.  I stopped and talked to one
of the people for a while (don't remember his name though).

He mentioned that Telebit had demonstrated a 28Kbps version of PEP,
and I asked if the existing modems would be upgradable to do this.
The answer was no - the current DSP chip doesn't have enough power,
and they switched to a faster one to get the needed crunching power.

I wonder if the current modems don't have the power to do V.32, but
the upgraded hardware would?
