Half-duplex doesn't directly relate to speed unless both ends are attempting to send full data rate both directions all the time. 1/2 speed is technically, inaccurate. Half-duplex is accurate. Whether or not that leads to a major change in speed, is completely data-rate and direction dependent. Since most folks are doing TCP sessions and they have ACK/NAK going on, there's always a speed hit on a half-duplex network while the far end ACK/NAK's, but the far end is rarely sending full data-rate back toward the requesting host. -- Nate Duehr nate@natetech.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
