That's odd; your log stripped the L from that string. It should be 2.20c.mL.

Interesting that your end reported 33600 while mine reported 31200. I
wonder what the actual line speed was ... probably 31200/33600 Tx/Rx.

Probably so. It probably would have shifted to 33600/33600. given that we
established a solid connect. Not bad when you consider the distance.

However, I don't think I've ever seen my modem report 33600 at all ...
