I've been having trouble connecting via V.32 to a Telebit 2500 from my Multitech 932 modem. Symptoms include carrier dropping soon after connection, and connections dropping after a little while. I suspect noisy telephone circuits. However, how do I prove that my lines are clean without paying $$$ to the telephone company? I've even dropped a new line right from the junction box on the outside wall to the modem with no better results. Does the telco have a way to test the phone lines compatibility with a modem? E.g. a tone sweep or measurement while my modem is on-line? Any ideas? Jeff jeffg@sgi.com

You might look at the line quality registers on the T2500 if you can hold
the connection long enough. S71 thru S79? (Hmmm. Actually, they don't
do much on non-pep connections. Maybe get someone else with a tbit ?)

They probably do. The problem is convincing them that a 'voice' line should
have more quality than what is needed for a 'voice' conversation.
