I have an extremely crude perl script that converts the S71 and S73 data in spectrum plots. Up to four plots can be overlayed; I used this to show both the transmit and receive numbers for two different phone lines. The output is piped into an ascii-input-to-plot-output filter. The whole shebang was used to document for our telecom department that MCI lines were of much poorer quality than our AT&T lines. (Didn't help. They went for the short-term false economy. I can't even guess how much switching to MCI has cost us in reduced modem throughput.) Send e-mail if you want a copy. No warranties; this is hack-and-slash perl we are taking about here, and it's not very pretty.
