For all I know, that sentence in Portuguese means "Seems to operate  
in Full Duplex..." which would be a totally different kettle of fish  
(as in "whaddya mean by 'seems'"...???)  :-)

Sometimes, the nuances can bite one in the ass, as you mention in a  
later note on "false cognates."  Unless one is fluent in the language  
or at least *VERY* knowledgeable about what are false cognates and  
what aren't between that language and English, trying to interpret is  
really asking for it in a technical discussion where precision is  
everything and the Devil's in the details.  So I don't even try to go  
there...
