While sitting on cloud 9, Meng-Shi Lim said to All something about 
    Telecom lines/modem setup

 ML> I'm able to sustain a 28.8k line speed on an STD BBS call (Geelong to
 ML> Melbourne) but on a local call to my ISP, although I can connect
 ML> occasionally at 28.8k, the line speed **occasionally** falls very
 ML> quickly down to 12000! Hence, my default connection setup up to my ISP
 ML> is to force a connection at 19.2k v.34 to prevent the fallback. I get
 ML> dropped if I try to force a connection higher than 21.6K. At forced
 ML> 24k and above, there are just too many pauses in the transmission to be
 ML> useful.



Sounds like bad lines.
