You might want to post the actual JES2 entries. In general, full duplex is "better". But, then again, only if both sides want to talk at the same time. It's kind of like the difference between a telephone and an old walkie-talkie. With a telephone, both parties can talk and hear at the same time. With a walkie-talkie, if you have pressed the "talk" button, you can't hear the other person. With half-duplex, one side sends some data, then says "ok, you can send now" and vice versa. They must take turns on the line. -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: Ein Stein. Maranatha!
