:      Or simply turn PEP micropackets off with S500=2 (register S120=16
: on the T2500 and below).

I am not sure what you are trying to say here.  There is no register
S500 that I know of on the WB.  Howver, if you mistyped and you really
meant S50, that register controls the modulation speed and S50=2 is
1200 baud, which is unacceptable for my applications and probably most
other sites as well..  Perhaps you meant the protocol support register,
S111 (=30) on the WB and TB+, which controls whether or not UUCP
g-protocol spoofing is enabled?  This can drastically affect throughput
if turned off.

Furthermore, I am not terribly sanguine that the ability of the WB to
connect to the TB+ is purely a function of PEP mode.

Perhaps you could elaborate....?  I would like to be able to keep the
same throughput and tell my feed sites what register to change that
will allow my WB to connect to their TB+/etc without forcing them to
get the new TB PROMs.
