I remeber seeing discussion here months ago about 9600 bps dialup
modems that were really half-duplex with fast turnaround. Has the
game changed any since? I've seen an ad from US Robotics offering
one that is full-duplex, but with split speed (9600/300), and turns
around which channel gets to talk fast. I don't remeber if anyone
said so before, but is there any sort of arbitration in these
things to decide which direction gets the high speed?

Thanks,
Gene
