Tell me if I am wrong, but if I remember right, a 64k (or 56k for that
matter) ISDN connection allows 56k throughput in each direction
simultaneously, right? Or no? The 56k flex/x2 is a little sifferent there,
as is all analog modem uasge, where upstream and downstream are combined to
get total bandwidth, if I understand it right.
Am I close, or waaaaayyy off? : )
