   Yes, and if Toby is not embarrassed to put his half duplex
   house on the wire, I guess my "half-fast duplex" term for the
   proprietary asymmetric modems isn't much worse...

Now that V.32bis has passed, is there much movement in CCITT for
attempting to provide interoperability between the local/remote
network management techniques for dial modems?   

Many of the measurements from vendors I've seen appear to be
quite similar....but no vendor will admit that THEIR modem at
the master site can read info and/or configure modems from
another vendor at the remote.

BTW, if you haven't seen some of the neat features for mgt of
dial modems, try to get a tech manual for one of the new V.32bis
modems....
