Yup, but _only_ as long as the line conditions remain constant..

Its _ALL_ dependant on how _long_ the line remains _stable_ and that can
vary a lot, I've not got a 33k6 modem only a 14k4, but if I enable fall
forward connects, I can find on some calls quite a bit of retraining due
to the line having *random* noise on it, might be twice a call, might be
20 times a call.. or it might be damm near every second:-(
                 Cheers,
                         Cliff
