But a full speed channel in "both directions at once" buys you
absolutely nothing unless your software makes use of it.  Since I use
my modem primarily for UUCP transfers, it seems I should want a modem
that works well with UUCP.  The Trailblazer+ does just that.  I'd
much rather have 1500 cps in one direction that I can make full use
of than 1200 cps in both directions that I can only use half of.
