I've been having trouble connecting via V.32 to a Telebit 2500 from my
Multitech 932 modem.  Symptoms include carrier dropping soon after
connection, and connections dropping after a little while.

I suspect noisy telephone circuits.  However, how do I prove that my
lines are clean without paying $$$ to the telephone company?  I've even
dropped a new line right from the junction box on the outside wall to
the modem with no better results.  Does the telco have a way to
test the phone lines compatibility with a modem?  E.g. a tone sweep
or measurement while my modem is on-line?

Any ideas?
