I am interested in both modems but do not know advantages The T2500 includes V.32 based on the Rockwell chipset, and PEP. The T1600 includes V.32 based on a Telebit chipset, ONLY. No PEP. If you have a need to connect to Telebit modems that don't support V.32, you'll need the T2500. If you plan on doing a lot of UUCP traffic to other Telebit modems, you'll want the T2500. However, rumor has it that Telebit is developing a modem that supports V.32 on their chipset and PEP. You might want to wait for that modem to come out; the Telebit chipset is reportedly much better than the Rockwell one. -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | "Bus error: passengers dumped" ...!umich!leebai!mudos!mju |

The T2500 ... provides protocol support (X/Ymodem, Kermit and UUCP)
in PEP mode.
The T2500 with release 7.00 ROMS also provides protocol spoofing over
V.32 connections, if MNP or V.42 is active. This presumably
interoperates with the T1600's spoofing over V.32 (probably also only
over error-corrected links, the manual doesn't specify), but I haven't
tested it myself. See the bottom of page 5 of the Release GF7.00

However, unlike George, I'm not committed to PEP in the least and am planning as large a move away from it as possible. I'm planning on replacing every T1000 modem in our group with either V.32 or V.32bis modems. Once they are mostly gone I will replace the dial in modems also. I.e. My sole commitment to Telebit is and has been their willingness to treat me right, offer me good solutions at a decent price and a commitment to always offering a hardware upgrade path. I've talked with some people at Telebit and now feel a bit better about the situation, but not a lot. So far all I've gotten is hand holding (which is better than the wall of silence I was getting.) In the mean time other modem companies are falling over themselves to talk to me and offer far better prices than Telebit -- on V.32bis. We're *not* talking about fly-by-night companies either. As it stands now, as soon as I finish evaluating V.32bis modems here in about a month, I will start buying. And I doubt very much whether they will be Telebits. I'm not happy about this because I've liked Telebit in the past and I have a great relationship with our Telebit distributor.

Another difference is the internal architecture of the modem. Back issues of this group contain considerable controversy over the 'guts' of the T2500. The original poster may wish to review the archives. Bob -- Robert M. Enger CONTEL Federal Systems enger@seka.scc.com (Internet)
