RJ> When I first started modeming, I had lots of problems with mega
 RJ> line noise. I got to see a hell of a lot of different BBS menus
 RJ> that I wasn't interested in when the line noise was
 RJ> interpreted(?) as a menu choice. I've overcome a lot of it by

 RJ> modems. I figure the STD equipment will probably boost my
 RJ> signal a bit and get it a bit taller so it can see over the
 RJ> line-noise grass (sort of like the "Warethafukrwee Tribe").
 RJ> Maybe some of Pauls Point could try this as well.

  What a great idea! Dieter?

                    DIETER!!! Pay attention!

 BL> I'm big on theory but I don't have any real knowledge of the
 BL> telpephone system.

 RJ> My knowledge stopped in 1968 when I joined the Navy as a
 RJ> communications tech. Up till then, I was installing Cross-bar
 RJ> exchanges and still conversant with "Strouger pre 2000"
 RJ> equipment (bulk 2000 type relays, sometimes known as the
 RJ> "Chase-me,Fuck-me Click Clack" system.)

  A fat lot of use you are, then! ROFL! You're even worse than me.
