One last thing from me, and I'll shut up. =) I have to yield the floor here to an authority. I'm sure that serial links can (and many times do) operate in full-duplex mode, but I cannot say that I know for a fact that when you have a 2Mbps serial line that it doesn't yield 4Mbps of total bandwidth (2Mbps each way).
I can only speculate what I think I know. =) I've always been under the impression that when you have, for instance, a T1 to an ISP that you could utilize 1.544Mbps of bandwidth whether incoming or outgoing (i.e. if you were downloading at 1Mbps, then you had ~.5mbps left for uploads), but that seems to contradict my belief that the same T1 line operates in full-duplex mode (which would limit incoming to 768Kbps and outgoing to 768Kbps). So I'm more than willing to hear the true explanation of this situation....... Mike W.
