I'm now connecting reliably to your M34F at 28800/28800/LAPM, and David's
Courier at 33600/33600/LAPM.

Changing modems does not mysteriously improve the line quality Paul.  My
lines are still marginal, around -33dBm down on Rx, but the V.34+ EPROM
appears to have considerably more grunt than the old V.34 one.  I'm now
satisfied, so my stats collections have come to an abrupt and welcome end. 
Hallelujah!  :)

Regards, Bill
