Hrumph, yeah, I've seen that. Do they have two phone lines? Around us it
usually means that their phone line has been multiplexed, and like it or
not, that is maxed out on a multi-plexed line. Had one user get a second
line for his modem, only to watch his connects drop from fat and happy 44k,
to a consistent 26.4k. GTE says tough beans, that's the way we do 'em.
Keeps the hours low on the Ditch-Witch.
Sucks big-time.
