Not bad at all. I'm frankly surprised I connected at 31200. Given the
distance between us, and the uncertainty of line wuality, that was quite a
good connect to achieve from here to Basywater. I was hoping for 33600, but
31200 was still quite desirable. Since I was only dropping off netmail, I
wasn't connected for long enough to experience a speed shift, and even so,
my mailer was in session at the time.

Paul, what did your log report?
