I understand the principles just fine thanks, but the Sportster doesn't
give a reading for the S/N ratio, which is a bit of a shame really.

Oh really?  Tell me more...

Yeah, it seems that some OS systems are only polled every 3-4 days, maybe
even weekly in some cases, as with USR_Modems, which is very lumpy indeed.

RS> Are you saying that your HS_Modems has US mail in it ?

No, not since I retagged it a few weeks ago.  Local stuff only.

RS> The one we get here never does, tho it did at one time.

Perhaps the OS feed went west some time ago then.
