Actually, Telebit does manufacture a product, the T2000, which supports the
SNA/SDLC modes. It is functionally a superset of the TrailBlazer Plus, with
the addition of SNA/SDLC support. So you can have all of the advantages (at
least as we at Telebit see them :-) of PEP, and SNA/SDLC support for your
IBM machines. I don't usually talk much about it, because this newsgroup 
has generally expressed little interest in that area.

David's other points about V.32 as an emerging standard are well taken, but
(and here come's the bias!) I think that it won't quite deteriorate that
quickly or as severely.

I don't want to start another V.32 vs. Telebit debate. This newsgroup has seen
enough of that. Let's all sit back and see what happens!

Thanks for your interest, David!
