BG>>> These line levels are positively ATROCIOUS!



RS>> You can say that again, shit they look fucking awful when shown on

RS>> a graph with Russ's levels when calling Paul. No wonder you alone

RS>> got so much trouble when calling the Spirit with various Sportsters.



BG>>> And now for David's stats... Note the

BG>>> immense difference between his and yours?



RS>> Yeah, but its ALSO very interesting comparing the numbers Russ got

RS>> when calling both Dave and you. It seems pretty clear that your line is

RS>> pretty indifferent, Pauls line is pretty indifferent, and when you have

RS>> that at BOTH ends of a particular session the result is rather obscene.



RS>> And also interesting how useful these flash new line stats can be.



RB>> I'm only glad that I can make some contribution towards you "

RB>> Painting the big picture " for us.



 RS> Yeah, your results were a hell of any eye opener, particularly the

 RS> freq response on the calls to the bulldog. Can you find out exactly

 RS> what phone exchange technology that FNQ line is using ?  Particularly



It should not be too hard to talk to one of the blokes in the exchange here

I will do that this week, I am out of here on the 9th (Sat) but this

is a must before I go back to Bris. 



 RS> when people like Dave Hatch are getting real problems with what is

 RS> supposed to be modern digital exchange technology now, it would be

 RS> interesting to compare which ones use which exchange technology.



I rang Dave H last night (connected at 31200) and was half way through

Uploading a file (333K) to him when the cps started diving, It got down to 

709cps then aborted.

I am sure it was that trouble he was talking about, before.

And I probably just hit in between the times he said it happens.



Though it could have been a mix of his problem and my line noise.

 

No problems with him this morning  (connect and upload at 33600) 



 RS> Presumably atleast part of Dave Drummonds immaculate line

 RS> is just because he is so close to the exchange itself.



Well I could almost spit at the exchange from here as well.



 RS> Are you still hearing the audible imperfections on your FNQ line

 RS> on voice calls ? Interesting how V34 can handle them so well.



YES, gets very bad some times.



 RS> Hell of an eye opener how useful the USR stats can be, its

 RS> essentially a full bit of line test equipment auto on every call.



You can't say that I'm sorry I bought this Courier, The only thing I don't

like is connecting at 26400 around Brisbane to some Rockwell stuff, Though

I am now confinced it is all to do with the line there (and not the modems)

Why else do I get 28800 to an old VFC maestro at Strathpine, (Yes Paul, the

one that I have to use S27=48 on.. otherwise it answers & hangs up 

immediately) everytime from up here and only ever a solid 26400 from Bris.

Same settings and machines,just different lines.
