That is pleasant news - I recently got a T2500 for rwing, and am
extremely happy with its performance in all modes (PEP, V.32 with and
without MNP on, and low speed with/without MNP.  I have noticed that
it has quite a bit less noise at 2400 than a couple of other 2400 bps
modems I have - all except the T2500 have made connections that
produce normal looking output until host stops at a prompt, then
garbage slowly dribbles across the screen.  The T2500 has yet to do
that to me.  I have neglected to send in the card, I will have to do
that, getting the V.42 upgrade will be a must, with the new modems
coming out that will support this mode.

Telebits are not cheap, but they are definitely a well designed and
trouble-free product, at least so far, and the folks at the factory
are quick to respond to e-mail asking some sort of question.  One can
definitely do a lot WORSE than going for a Telebit.

... Just a satisfied customer.
