Figures:  Fig 1. "Higher Back-channel Rate." shows Bell 202 5 b/s back channel
                  v.s. 150 b/s back channel for videotex terminals
          Fig 2. "Modem Mode." show how five mode control bits satisfy half/
		  full duplex, 300 and 1200 bps, and other special options.
          Fig 3. "Isolation." shows additional parts that must be used to
		  make up the DAA required by 'Regulatory agencies'
          Fig 4. "Full-duplex." shown implemented with one Am7911, three simple
		  op-amps, and two DAA's. [DAA = Data Access Arrangement]
