Still not there
That's basically what i thought was happening. The lines were really bad
for a couple days when the rains came through and of course it had to be
when i tried out the new modem.
Tried the MNP 4 connection to CIS the next day. Effective transfer rate
was only 600 bps BUT I didn't get any retransmissions at s/w level (that's
remarkable even on good days around here). So they apparently work but
watching that rate slow down is sure annoying. Still at least the file got
there, i've often had days where the s/w (and i) just gave up.
