 Morenlikely I didn't get around to reading LOCSYSOP until after
 you obtained your modem.

 Yeah, and politicians never lie.

 We can but try.

 So far, forcing 2400 connects have been better.

 I've tried twice picking up mail, the first being:

 CARRIER 2400
         LAPM
         V42BIS
 CONNECT 2400

 This appeared to give a fairly high error count, something about
 data packets being too long.

 The second connect:

 CARRIER 2400
         LAPM
         No Compression
 CONNECT 2400

 was better, but was a very short mail pickup.

 Unfortunately, Telix Logs seem to be deficient in detail, so it
 is either a two-step process involving logging into TML as a
 normal BBS call and seeing the extended result codes and then
 logging in as a point to verify transmission problems; or a
 single step process of bumping up each parameter at a time and
 seeing a which point it fails, and then logging into TML as a
 BBS and seeing the result codes. I'll probably chose the
 latter.
