The real question to me on this whole V.32 vs HST vs Blazer vs
Bell 103 ;-} thread is:
	How well do V.32 modems hold up on real_world, noisy
	circuits? Do they ignore noise, make do (correcting at a loss
	in thruput), or just give up and drop the connection?

This hits me close to home. My local pairs are so full of crap
that my 2400 baud Microcom MNP keeps giving up. I've overflowed
the LEC's database with my bitching. They keep rolling me from
pair to pair, but admit that the cable is 'tight' (short of
spare pairs) and failing.

I'm beginning to wish I had my Blazer (loaned out to a good home)
back.
