- Granted, SLIP and Dnet are two situations that can utilize full-duplex
- connections, but outside of the UNIX world there is little use for them.

- I'm not trying to trivialize their utility, but I was looking for a more
- mainstream use, like BIMODEM or HS/LINK for the PeeCee, neither of which is
- currently available for the Amiga.

- Using a percentile value is a bit misleading as that represents a 2400bps
- increase in bit rate, add to that the additional boost of V.42(bis) and it
- is not that trivial.
