Did that fine this am as you know. Called six times in a row. I DID see
the retrain demanded from your end BUT never saw the dud ones where that
retrain resulted in continuous receive and transmit errors after the retrain.
And it didnt demand the retrain every time, tho that is occasionally seen
with the austel SDLs too now. Not clear if that was just the step back in
the code version or just many more calls made it visible with the austels.

So it appears that the US domestic SDL is rather better, tho there is still
no point in doing a full retrain on a V32bis call just after the connect.

I have since this message first went out, also called Bills
V34 Sportster repeatedly too, and not a hint of the retrain
demand at all. Thats with the non Austel rom in his modem.

So it seems pretty clear its just a current quirk of the Courier code. And
presumably fixable by USR since the Sportster doesnt have the problem. Tho
it will be interesting to see what happens with V34+ roms for the Sportster.
