i'm currently testing several vendor's dslams and modems for a performance comparison. many modems out there have this nasty habit of being set to half duplex. this will absolutely kill bi-directional traffic flows. now for the bad news... many vendors have unlisted (not available by using ? or help) commands that can put your modem's interface into a full-duplex mode. If you find the command, try it; i think you will like it.
