No, to be pedantic, the univeristy that I attend - Univeristy of Queensland.

 RB> This seems the norm when connecting a Courier to a Rockwell

Did I also mention that I have never had a 33.6k connect?  According to my 
Courier, the SNR is always somewhere between 36.4 and 37.1 dB which is only
a tad too low for a 33.6k connect.  I tend to get very few blers on 31.2k 
connects, which would be expected with that SNR and the fact that the uni
modems are on ISDN.

 RB> Cheap skates

Yeah!  Rotten Rockwells :-)
