Well, thats the theory anyway. I think that Recv figure is just as
bogus when its not a USR as the db figures on the line probe table.

The evidence for that is that when its a USR on the other end, and
we can see what IT claims its transmitting at, and then calculate
the line loss, we get a DIFFERENT line loss, 6db different in fact.

Something extremely fishy going on there somewhere. Corse we dont
actually KNOW that the Netcon is putting out -11dbm when it claims
it is, but its unlikely to be 6db out, thats a hell of a lot.

But NOT with a USR/USR pair, so it cant really be true.
