PL>Just curious....what is your definition of "more aggressive"?
        An increase in the bias toward shifting up under a given set
        of conditions.
        The modem derives a value based on the current line conditions
        and compares its to a table.  This table has high and low
        "water marks" for each carrier type and rate.  If the
        value is within the marks, the modem stays at the current
        rate.  If the value is beyond the marks then it attempts to
        shift up or down to a rate that results in staying between
        the marks.  The value of S191 is used in this calculation and
        effectively "shifts" the result up or down in relation to the
        marks.
        This is like driving a car down a road that is higher on 
        one side than the other.  If you hold the wheel centered 
        the car will tend to drift toward the lower side.  If you 
        adjust the car so that the wheels point slightly to the high
        side when the wheel is centered, it is possible to drive
        straight down the road while keeping the wheel centered.
        (Yes, there are better ways to correct this on an auto, but 
        I'm trying to keep it simple.)
        S191 works the same way.  If the modem tends to drift up, you
        can increase S191 to bias it toward lower rates.  If the
        modem tends to drift down, you can decrease S191 to bias 
        the modem toward higher rates.
