Well, in last week's Computerworld, there was an article about a product from Chung Telecommunications Corp. in Palo Alto. They have a device called the Turbo-Max-2 that goes for $995. It allegedly "compacts and combines two full-duplex 2400 bit/sec asynch data streams into a 1200 bit/sec modem." Ms. Chung claims it is "impervious to data content, protocol and line conditions." Has anyone heard anything more about this, or seen it in action? Mark
