AM>>> What was the S/N ratio reported?

 TP>>  

 MG>>> The Austel SDLs don't report SNR...



 AM>>> Strange...



 TP>> Perhaps Austel thought the numbers might embarrass our

 RB>> I was told by the Tech that trained my hybrids, that Telstra

 AM> The standard (Austel Technical Standard 027 - 1996) mentions a 

 AM> signal-to-total-

"in-house" limit

 AM> Telstra use.



Done a little research here

And according to page 9 of the System-12 network operations manual

39db is mentioned so maybe they can be set to 39db if the Tech REALLY TRIES.



Please post me your Fax number and I will fax you the instructions direct

from the manual that are used in training the hybrids.
