I have a USR 14.4K DS coming in the mail and my feed (sycom) has a 14.4 HST (half-duplex).

Also, ever heard of bimodem? -- .____________________________________________________________________________. | | | | Please send all | Sysop of the Virtual Reality BBS | | complaints to | uunet.uu.net!umich!vela!sycom!vrtwo!matt | | | 808-337-1560 * 2400 baud * C-Net Amiga | | >NIL: | USR 14400 baud DS on order - 40 megs storage | |__________________________|_________________________________________________|
