 I'm not sure how many carriers USR uses to get 14.4K, but i do know it is only
 half-duplex, and the backchannel is only 450 bps. (kinda tough on those ymodem
 transfers :-) ). The plain vanilla HST 144x will not connect to a V.32 modem,
However, USR markets a straight V.32 modem, and the Dual Standard which can
operate in V.32 or in HST 14.4K modes. USR has been plagued with 2400 baud
compatibility problems, it seems their 144x series don't like cheap 2400 baud
clone modems. The HST will connect with such a modem, but it will generate tons
of line noise, garbling (sp?) the connection. As of yesterday, I am waiting for
a replacemnt chipset to fix this problem.
