Well, I'm as happy as one can be under the circumstances, at least.  Short
of buying a unit in Dave Drummond's block, which is as close to the Ascot
phone  exchange as a list of buggy Rockwell chipsets is long, there's
nothing that I can do to improve the quality of my phone lines, being
restricted instead to using that V.34+ EPROM which gives the best results
when calling Paul's M34F.

Give it a rest, Russ.  You're preaching to the converted.

Jeeze Russ, are you trying for a Nobel Prize, or what ?  :)
