That is all defined by the V.90 standard. An article on Slashdot a while
back suggest that the IEEE is going to change it with a new standard. Make
it symetrical both ways . I can't find any info so maybe im dreaming about
that bit. Just gotta wait for damn communications companies to communicate.
I reckon its one of the great industrial ironies that communications
companies seem the worst at communicating between themselves.
