Connection between a TB+ and a TB2500, using PEP

Same here

   Pep/compressed	.823

We saw those sorts of numbers with vanilla SLIP.  Things improved to
around 1.0Kb/s with header-compressed SLIP.  We saw numbers like
1.3-1.5Kb/s FTP throughput when using PPP.

   Does anyone know when/if Telebit is going to put IP header
   prediction into the modems (so they don't have to turn around for
   the ACK's)?

Try using a smarter protocol, and the modems will do just fine.
Header compression helps a *lot*.
