BG> What a pity that USR's x2 and Rockwell's K56Flex are little more than BG> interim flash-in-the-pan protocols, both of which will be replaced by BG> considerably cheaper cable "modems" (line cards) within the next year BG> or so (and with the added advantage of full duplex 64kbps or 128kbps BG> speeds, not this silly one-way 56k thing). This is one piece of BG> passing fad technology in which I have no interest whatsoever in BG> "investing"... 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 Cya l8r ... +---------------------+--------------+ ... | Daniel, Sydney, Oz | Email : N/A | ... +---------------------+--------------+ ...
