Since the data bottleneck in connections using Trailblazers+compression
seems to be in the host-to-modem async link, some higher bandwidth
physical link seems to be in order.  Is anyone (likely Telebit?) working
on modems that sit directly on ether (with no intervening async link)?
If not, (and in the interest whetting the mfr's appetites,) how much
interest would there be in a product like this?
