Hello,

I was just reading that AetherWorks Corp of St. Paul Minn.
is promissing a full-duplex modem that can transfer data up to 43.2 kbps.
It looks like 56Kbps in one direction only is a becoming obsolete.
Hope this can get to 56Kbps bidirectionally in the future.

That product is 100% vaporware.

Hi John,
This was written in a government news magazine where vendors
hype their wares.

Shortly after posting this, I read on Reuters that they had
found a way to get 56Kbps in one direction with 45Kbps in the other.
This is even better than what was written below.

I believe that is actually from Lucent. It also is 100% vaporware.

... Yeah, whatever.... I remember the WinDoze 95 hype about how it was
"coming soon" for two years before they could deliver. It is just
the marketing equivalent of bodybuilding. If you can see a demo at
a trade show, you might see it this year (BIG MAYBE....)

Yep.
See for yourself at <URL:http://www.aetherworks.com/> what they have to
say. (Pretty much nothing, in fact.)

This is pure vaporware, Mike. Hardware doesn't exist.
