It isn't really a "flaw."  It's part of the basic design.  The modems
are HALF-DUPLEX 9600 bps modems (in effect).  They have some buffering
on both ends, but it takes a substantial period of time (something like
a second) to do a turnaround.

I have one of those modems here that I'm experimenting with--more
details when I have more to report.
