However there is a logical "deficiency" of sorts. If a line got very bad with a regular modem you might see lots of error characters and say "look here, a bad line/connection/modem". With the correction going on, however, you'd see what might look like a degredation in response time, up to perhaps very severe. This COULD result in incorrect perceptions or conclusions about services or response time rather than a realization about broken lines/modems. Thanks, Doug
