BG>Michael, at 16:16 on Sep 13 1996, you wrote to Bill Grimsley...

MR> Telstra are certain that it is not my phone lines (see 
MR> other message "noisy

MR> SNR              (dB)       32

MR> SNR              (dB)       31

BG>You have S/N ratios as low as 31db and Telstra still reckon your line is OK?

BG>Unless you're seeing 38db or better, you won't be getting

BG>said before, your lines are definitely dodgy.  QED.

To be honest Bill I would be delighted with 28800 connects but apart from
Marwicks BBS they seem few and far between as well.  On David's BBS even with
&K0 I still get freezing up.

The SNR  rates vary up to 39.  I still think the lines should be good enough for
a 28800 connect but mostly no go. I'll wait for Russell to come over and check
my setup out then maybe I might somewhere. Cheers
Mike
