Once upon a time RCIP Support shaped the electrons to say...
>We are experiencing problems with our pm2e. When we do a 'sho s7' or
>whatever we see that there are 625 framing error on that particular port.

>this problem? Is it just a bad modem or bad cable?

Both are common causes of framing errors. You can swap the cable/modem pair
with another port and see if the errors follow the modem.

If they do, then swap just the phone line. If it follows the phone line,
that's the problem.

If it stays with the modem, when swap just the modem, leaving the cable.
If it follows the modem, it's the modem. If not, it is the cable.
