I remember way back when 14.4k was new and US Robotics had their HST standard when everything else was v32bis and I was wondering if USR was at it again :) One limitation I seem to recall of the HST standard was that one channel had the transfer rate of 14.4k while the other was limited to 300 baud, and heard something similiar about the 56k modems that you can transfer data at 56k one way, but only 28.8k the other way, is this true? Thanks for any info! SirGwynz
