Not really, it was marketed to produce high speed transfers for BBS users at a time when the echo cancelation for V.32 was to expensive. US Robotics wasn't the only company to do this either, Telebit, Hayes and a few other companies implemented either asymetric or half duplex protocols similar to HST for the same reasons. Now US Robotics is pushing the V.32bis modems out the door at only slightly higher prices than the HST modems in an effort to phase them out of the market. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -Dwight Hubbard INTERNET: lron@easy.lrcd.com - -Kaneohe, Hawaii USENET : ...!uunet!easy!lron - - BIX : lron - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
