However, you can have a two way communication and still be asynchronous -- the term simply means that a common clock between transmitters/receivers is not required for communication. So, for a real world analog, I would use -- when I'm talking to my wife via the telephone, we're on the same page and know what each other is saying -- however, when I'm talking to my mother-in-law, it's wasted breath. tedd -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://sperling.com/
