subject: FOLDS - What to send?

FF>> Just did it, and received excellent for everything bar the
 FF>> transmission level. Amazingly, Telstra have fixed my line less than
 FF>> 48 hours after I called them! See tagline :-)

 DH> Excellent.  Time our side won a few.

I spoke *way* too soon. The call that sent out the above message was
tragic, and lifting the phone handset after revealed vast quantities of
static on the line :-(

All the above problems caused by a group of Telstra techs working in the
rain with no covers over the open pits !! Even the 1100 operator said this
was a "just plain stupid" thing to do!

 FF>> FOLDS told me the Courier is transmitting some 7.6db too loud, at
 FF>> -10.4db. Is it possible to change this to the recommended -17.0db to
 FF>> -19.0db range?

 DH> Dunno.  It may be that the differential level between fax and modem
 DH> is speced to another range for the Courier.

 I'm not worried. I've now sent several faxes to different
numbers, and have had no problems at all, (apart from Win95's stupid fax
interface!).

Regards,
Frank
