Assume the following two modems:

1. Modem A: 9600 bps full-duplex
2. Modem B: 14400/1200 bps, meaning it can transmit 14400 bps half
   duplex, 1200 bps is for flow control and error control.

The question is:

1. Which modem has wider application ?
2. What are the typical applications for Modem A ? Modem B ?
3. I heard kermit works only up to a certain speed. What is the 
   speed limit ? and why is the limit ?
