While listening to Dave Hatch Pete heard:[NEWS] 56kps analog modem

G'day Dave

 ML> second (bps) modem technology that Hayes and US Robotics are

 LE> $0.20 (my standard silly bet) says it's half-duplex.

And if true will really pull the rug out from under Telstra with their
echo canceller triggered timed calls for modems effort.

Now all we have to do is wait till the year 2010 for the austel
version of the code. :-(

I feel any future modems i purchase will be non Austel approved.
