Also, the ringing tone the caller hears may or may not be in sync with the 
ring-voltage-pulses the receiver gets.

Your statement applies only to the ROM rev. _after_ 6.10. The latter one 
_was_ one of the best to handle line noise at least as good as HST, and it 
was bi-directional :-).

Hmm, if you were right then V.34 19200 ans ZyX 19200 would yield the same 
throughput on the equally "bad" lines - it is not the case, and ZyX 19200 on 
my Elite performs much better in this situation.
