- When I tested a pair of Intel 14.4EX modems with `ping -s ZZZZ`,
- they could not keep up past ZZZZ=1800. Other modems go as fast
- as ZZZZ=3600. Notice that is >3600 Bytes/sec both input and output
- for a total of > 7200B/s. The lights on the Intel modem suggested they
- were unable to to simultaneously transmit and receive. That is implausible,
- but it fits my observations.
-
- If I'm right, they would still be servicable modems, but less than
- the best.
