- Not really, but I may be wrong - anyone care to comment?
-
- The problem is that the initial protocol for startup involves
- full-duplex synchronous error-checked transmissions at various baud
- rates (this you could do), then switching to a half duplex protocol. The
- standard modems do not handle half duplex. The only modem protocol that
- comes close is the V23 (1200/75) in which you can ignore the back
- channel and then turn the line around so that the answerer becomes the
- originator and so forth. (At least this used to be possible in sync
- comms vith 1200/75 modems, I haven;t seen this mode in quite a while).
-
- The 2400 baud basically splits the bandwidth into 2 x 2400 baud
- channels, one in either direction. Fax requires 1 channel, 2400 baud
- (minimum) and up to 14.4k (now - used to be 9600), that is then swapped
- from end to end.
