Good point.  I'll disable that and call Paul at full speed shortly.  The
results should be extremely interesting.

Later:  That only applies to V.32terbo, so there's nothing to disable on
the Sportster.  Ergo, I won't be calling at full-speed after all.  :(

It's all the extra V.34 tones which are the first ones issued, regardless.

Irrelevant from my POV, as this Sportie only does 28800 at the moment.

Maybe your dog is calling his bitch during your absence?  :)
