Hello,

     For my application I will not have control of the PC side.  I'm trying 
to write a program to dial into SLIP or PPP hosts.  I haven't thought about 
trying to use the USB link.  I wanted to run RS-232 eventually to make use 
of old 9600 baud external modems.  I could also just cook up my own protocol 
converter that is more user friendly, but I was hoping to build this network 
stack to be usible with the existing graphlink.  Cause I would think most 
people would have that.

     It sounds like people seem to agree that this is a real problem and 
that there isn't much to be done about using the graphlink in any sort of 
full-duplex way.

Thanks,

David E. West
