If I understand it full duplex does not double the download speed. But rather upload can progress at the same time as download. This can be useful for a file-server where my reads do not conflict with your writes (on the network wire). For download the ACK packets can flow without interrupting the up/download. Thus it can be possible to approach the theoretical bit rate in any one direction. Am I confused? -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
