	I have similar horror stories to tell.  I have no problem
	communicating at 2400 baud with FIDO nodes in Holland, England
	and California, but I am forced to use 300 baud to communicate
	with nodes that are no more than 10 miles from me.  Other nodes
	in the local area can not be connected to at all.  The carrier
	that the remote is generating is so distorted by the lines,
	that my modem does not recognise it as a an answering carrier.
	And the situation has been getting worse with the the advent of
	the "dial 1" disease.
