BG> The Courier just arrived, and here are some stats from a call to Dave

Yeah, very decent and within noise of identical to what
you got with Russ's Courier on your line which is good too.

BG> Nonlinear Encoding       ON/ON
BG> Precoding                OFF/ON
BG> Shaping                  OFF/ON
BG> Preemphasis     (-dB )   6/4
BG> Recv/Xmit Level (-dBm)   24.4/11.9
BG> SNR             ( dB )   37.6
BG> Near Echo Loss  ( dB )   15.0
BG> Far Echo Loss   ( dB )   36.7
BG> Roundtrip Delay (msec)   3

These are the same bit from a message of yours dated 28-Apr, using
Russ's Courier

Nonlinear Encoding       ON/ON
Precoding                ON/ON
Shaping                  OFF/ON
Preemphasis     (-dB )   4/4
Recv/Xmit Level (-dBm)   24.2/12.1
SNR             ( dB )   37.9
Near Echo Loss  ( dB )   3.3
Far Echo Loss   ( dB )   38.9
Roundtrip Delay (msec)   3


The only important difference is the near echo loss.
Quite a substantial difference in that one tho.
