I am looking for a modem that will transmit *synchronous* full-duplex
data over dial-up lines at the highest possible rate (compressing, if
necessary).

V.32 seems to be the way to go.  But all the V.32 modems that I've
heard of only compress when they are handling async data.  Running
synchronous, they will give me 9.6Kbps, but no more.  Can I do better
than that?  Error correction is not needed, since I will be using an
error-checking protocol, but I suppose it's needed if the modems will
be compressing what they send.

Cost is not an issue -- I am willing to pay significantly more to get
the throughput.
