RS> Certainly not at 7200, thats extremely low. I would expect that if the

 RS> line at your end or mine was marginal, we would occasionally see a

 RS> 12000 connect and in fact I did with one particular line with the City

 RS> BBS which I called daily for mail for a long time. He is on one of the

 RS> most decrepit exchanges in Sydney apparently and doesnt have his lines

 RS> in a rotary group, and you could see one line being a bit down

 RS> performance wise. It always connected fine, sometimes at 12000 and

 RS> normally did manage to fall forward up to 14400 thru the session.

 RS> Occasionally it connected at 14400 and fell back to 12000 for a bit

 RS> and back up to 14400 too.



thats odd, the city is on the same exchange as me, and it was upgraded

a bit over 3 years ago, about the time that i moved in. i always seem to

get about the same results with pauls board, it used to be around 1610

cps, now it is around 1660 cps, so the 456 exchange wouldn't seem to be

a problem. the city's lines though seem to have their own personalities,

i don't know if it is the modems, the lines, or the various systems that

comprise the board.
