I've wondered how they wiretap a line with a pair of modern high speed
modems. After reading the V.34 standard, it would seem to be very difficult
to separate the two signals. It is hard enough when you have one of the
transmitted signals. One possibility would be to tap both ends of the
connection, record and compare the two signals. Maybe the trellis coding
rules could be used to track and strip one of the signals.
