Michael, You're mixing your oranges and apples.. Used _interactively_, a protocol like HMI allows you to use your time mor productively at any speed. The same comparison holds true when automation is introduced; Imagine the advantages if AutoPilot could upload, download _and_ allowed you to jump into a CO on impulse (or perhaps even collect/post your forum messages) simultaneously? The ultimate benefit is gained when your modem's full-duplex capability is exploited, potentially delivering TWICE the throughput. The immediate benefits can be substantial, just imagine the cumulative, long-term benefits! -Chris
