 So, your Xmit rate to David was initially 26400

 (it no doubt speed shifted up, seconds later.



 and your recv rate from David was 33600.

 Nothing unusual, David can spit on the wall of his exchange building,

 It is 3 doors down the street.

You can't better any of the above.

You need 37db or better, for 33600 both ways

 Here is the killer (Block errors)

 Something that YOU can't do anything about (only Tesltra)

 This combined with a not so good S/N ratio is what stopped you

 getting 33600 both ways (I don't now if one causes the other but,

 Both of these are out of our hands.

If you could stay on longer than this 7 second connect

and transfer  a decent file both ways you would have found

it shift up, no doubt.
