Have you ever seen me utter rude words about Telstra? In any event, line
noise isn't a problem for me; never has been. Interestingly, I called
Albert's M34F the other night. I connected at 31200 bps (as I always do),
but I was given a nice surprise when I dropped to command mode and
discovered that the link speed shifted to 33600 in both directions. I've
never seen this happen before.
