-> 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.
Doing that lowered my connection speeds....  I think that my line has a
weak signal already, so why should I weaken it anymore when it probably
won't even go about -12..
-> 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'll try some different settings....
-> I'm only half a mile away from my local exchange,
-> connected with underground cable, AGC offŠ
How can I find out how far I am from mine?
