     And I wouldn't be supprised if it still talks to their old product line!
So then you would likely have the best of both possible worlds and your entire
arguement against PEP goes in the bit bucket!  You are also assuming that by
the time V.32 is a practical reality and equal in cost/benefit tradeoffs to
PEP (a year? hmmmm) that PEP will have stood still.  Waiting for the new
technology to arrive and improve on the present technology is a good
phylosophy for getting nothing done.

An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds.
A pessimist is sure of it!
