Problem is a V.32 modem can send all 7 64 byte frames in less than the half
second it takes the first frame to get to the other end.  So it doesn't
matter if the channel allows full duplex returns of the ACKs.

Yep, they have all sorts of neat stuff there.

Hmm, isn't there a streaming protocol ('f') around.  If It is streaming I would
be very interested in getting the source so I can get throuput that the modem
was intended to give.

Yeh, the QX is a nice modem.  We had a couple at work, we were testing.  Only
problem with it uses a differnt AT commands than the HST for it's advanced
features.  Course that's my fault not the modems.
