 Rockwells and USR's Superfast protocal both need one side to have a digital
connection, I think this new 43k2 FULL DUPLEX on Analog lines protocol is the
go!. I really think it is possible to get more than 33k6 outta analog lines as
I have seen HST get a ROCK SOLID 16k8 (ok, its semi-half duplex but its also 
HST's MAX SPEED) while Other protocals Try to connect at 2400-7200 and DIE on 
a dirty line.

 Its all in the encoding :)

Cya!

 Oh BTW, on this line where V.xx DIES the HST Protocol reports 0 Errors!
