Hi Poe,

Perhaps.  People _are_ getting 33600/33600 connects, with Tx levels around
-12-to -13dBm, if some of the voluminous stats posted here are right,
aren't they?

 PL> Nope; can't go louder than -10dB for the Austel version,
 PL> -9dB in the US version.

For FAX?  -13dBm is the recommended max, perhaps another couple of dBm on a
really long loop.  Yeah, I guess -10 would be right at maybe 5-10km out ..
I must root through the packing cases and find those fax newsletters.

Cheers, Ian
