Hello, all.  Recently I've been receiving feedback from a few callers that 
they are experiencing noise-like symptoms such as unable to get a clean 
connect, screen garbage, dropped carrier, etc.
 
I got my lines and the caller's lines checked.  Even had a tech monitor a 
connection with one such caller - he said there was "no line noise - probably 
a modem problem".  I'm running USR Courier v.everything modems with 
Binkley/Maximus/OS2.  My modem init string is ATH&B1&H1S10=30S0=1
 
This appears to be only a problem with callers who have older modems.  One 
caller who had this problem bought a new modem and the problem went away.  
But another who has this problem connects fine to other boards and his ISP - 
says I'm the only one he has problems with (he has an Eagle 14.4 modem).  
Another is running DOS 3.3 (!), Qmodem, and a 2400 modem.  I've suggested 
that he upgrade all of the above, but you know how that goes...
 
Anyway, if you have a suggestion I'd *love* to hear it.
 
                                      Alan
