Cable modems ain't going to be that cheap, Telstra will make sure it
has a monoploy on that product for some while yet.

So it would be quite a while before 64kps became inexpensive enough.

So the 56kps are half-duplex ... wow I thought does days where over
so what speed does it run at when in full
duplex ? 33.6 ?



thanx for your time
