Several months ago I replaced standard V.32's with TB's running PEP on a
leased line installation with MUXes.  

The plan was to convert to dialups, but the customer kept dragging his feet
and they were getting disconnects many times a day on occasion.  (Working
through TWO different phone companies didn't help a lot).

Now, after finally getting onto dialups, they have no disconnects to speak
of - and are now wondering why they paid so much more for leased lines that
weren't as reliable as dial-ups.
