 JP> You'll have to explain how to do this ...

The USR Courier has the ability to check line conditions and give a report.  S
BBS's have the facility available to anyone who rings.  The DarkZone BBS here
in Mudgee (063-72-6978) has such a feature available as a menu item.  However
the line conditions here in Mudgee aren't the best.

To do it manually(sp), the Sysop would go off line and give the "ATi11"
command.  This would give a lot of information but include a SNR (signal to
noise ration).  For a 28k8 connect the SNR should be about 37 to 40.  The lowe
the "number" the lower the connect speed and therefore the more
"noisey" the
line.

I think I mentioned that I once owned a M11f and found that they don't handle
poor "bushy" type phone lines.  As you might have also guessed,
I've "upgraded
the USR Courier and have been quite happy with it.

Talk later,
