 MF> Oh, I see.  Are AGC amps widely used?
Yes, every line's got one to limit input at
exchange matrix to -12dB/m  Which is why, if
you limit your transmit level to that, the
AGC amp shouldn't bite.
Better to switch off the amp tho and feed -12dB/m
yourself.  However, that is _your_ modem into
_your_ socket.  There may be attenuation after
that before your line gets to the exchange so
experiment?
I'm only half a mile away from my local exchange,
connected with underground cable, AGC off
