I proved that it is the lines, back at the begining of the year when

I was in FNQ.



I dial a Maestro every day from home and used to get

28800  most of the time, with a Supra. With a Courier I would

only get 26400 all the time. (but solid)

With other rockwells I get 26400 most of the time and some

28800 as well and dropouts all the time.



When I was up north I got 28800 to that same Maestro everytime

(If you don't remember the stats & tests that I did from those

PERFECT lines I can repost them (I have about 40 pages of them to

all different types of modems and lines)

using the Courier. Courier to Microcom, netcom, Maestro was always

28800. No settings , software or hardware changed at all.

JUST THE LINES changed.



Now back at home at the moment I can't miss getting 28800 to the

Maestro with the USR (rock solid) BUT I do get 26400 and the rare 28800 to it

using a rockwell with dropouts all the time.



NOTHING CHANGED AGAIN. Except maybe Telstra are fiddling with lines

somewhere.



IT HAS TO BE THE LINES.

I'm  sold.



The boats great , the water has holes in it.
