-= Pete Replied to Peter McGrath about: 33K6 upgrade =-

G'day Peter

Sounds like it works fairly well, I've been tossing up whether it's
worth sending my M11F in for the upgrade, From what i'm told it's
still $150 with the added bonus of 33k6.

 PM> With the upgraded Netcomm to my Courier I always connect at 31k2
 PM> or 28k8.

I could live with that, BTW is that the initial connect speed or after
the lines settle down, Couriers seem to connect low then step up a
notch or two.

 PM> Out of curiosity I rang up TML which is about the same distance
 PM> away and to which I could only connect to with the Courier at
 PM> 31k2 and guess what?. Yep (NetComm to NetComm) solid 33k6
 PM> connect and 3800cps.

Good connect BTW Are you sure it was the Netcomm on line, Didn't Paul
have a 33k6 Spirit Viper online for a while.

 PM> It looks like NetComm have done it again and made their modems
 PM> incompatible with (at least some) others, and at least on MY
 PM> upgraded M34f, only symmetrical connect speeds, and 16S/4D
 PM> Trellis coding.

I don't know from what you've said they seem to be reasonable, Pity
they don't do 64S-4D though.

     Pete.
