G'day Daniel

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

 PC> AFAIK it's 56k in 33k6 out, not a true half duplex mode.

 DL> umm what does that mean ?

It means you can in theory receive at speeds up to 56k and send at
33k6

 DL> I mean what is the pt of that ?

 DL> if there where 2 modems, then the maximum speed would only be
 DL> 33.6, as the out for the other modem would be the same  (would
 DL> it not ?).

It's not designed for modem to modem use but as ISP to user connected
to the internet and using the WEB.

     Pete.
