Because of a mail-server failure I lost the original query on the HST
protocal. However, quoting from a 1992 manual for the USRobotics High
Speed Modems:
"Under V.32 bis modulation, data flows at the same rate in both
directions. Under HST modulation, data flow is asymmetrical:
the high speed in one direction and 450 bps in the other. The
modems switch the fast and slow channels when the volume of data
flow changes. Interactive applications appear faster under V.32
modulation, while connection times are faster under HST modulation."
