- ...ehh... Try using bimodem or any kind of full duplex protocol on the
- HST(like some games, or maybe inter-bbs communications)...
-
- The HST will choke on anything that requires full duplex. This makes it
- worthless(IMHO).
-
- UUCP won't even run faster than 300 baud on my HST, and it will run on my HALF
- DUPLEX T1000. Does this make my 9600 baud T1000 faster than a 16.8 HST? As far
- as I can tell the 9600 baud Telebit outpaces 16.8..
-
- The only thing that works great on the HST is Y-ModemG and Z-Modem, if you
- ever plan on using it for more interactive protocols I wouldn't suggest buying
- even a 28.8 HST...
