  To be honest I doubt that your information is correct, but
nevertheless, even at the known V.32bis/V.42bis expected speeds (57.6Kbps
max (38.4Kbps ave?)) modem manufactures and others are going to have to
beef up both their CPUs and serial chips.  At some point it's going to be
ridiculous to keep on trying to use EIA232 and we'll have to start using
something else.  Maybe even Ethernet as some have suggested ... :-)
