Same here with daily calls between 3:713/730 and 3:712/505.   With level
set to default -13dbm calls were 24000 or 26400 and somewhat
"flaky".  Lifting the level to -11dbm we now have solid 28800 on
most calls with the occasional one dropping to 26400.

It was these results that got others on the trail.  We were satisfied at
-11dbm but others seem to need higher output levels to compensate for
higher loss local loops.  This seems to be the case with USR Couriers as
well.

Regards ... John
