At what level of operation?  Even multipoint topologies can have "four-wire 
connections" like the multi-drop leased-line circuits that were popular in 
the 1960s.

The most common circuits are full-duplex by any definition.  This includes 
T1, E1, DS3, frame relay.  Even ISDN is full-duplex, thanks to 
frequency-division multiplexing of the copper pair.
