While listening to Sunny Leung Pete heard:USR Blers

G'day Sunny

 PC> If this is while connected to Computropolis BBS then i get the
 PC> same thing, it seems to be at regular intervals so there might
 PC> be something effecting the lines.

 SL> It's with my ISP. I think its the lines because I don't get many
 SL> block errors with other places that I call e.g. Computropolis
 SL> where I get less than 10 blers each connect.

fair enough

 SL> I also notice that these Blers tend to happen where the connect
 SL> is using v.42 SREJ. However, transfer rates don't seem to be
 SL> greatly affected, if at all. I'm wondering whether I should be
 SL> worried.

 PC> I haven't noticed that but i wouldn't worry about it, just the
 PC> joys of high speed comms.

 SL> It's just the bloody blinking. I had to know what it means
