Summary: PC Ragazine article is baloney


Rick Adams at seismo reported connections of up to around 11 kbaud
on really awful lines to sites in the Andes mountains.  The
circuits there probably aren't any better than what you'd get going
to Taiwan.

I've done things like shouting into the phone or dailing DTMF tones
while the T'blazer is talking and it just keeps right on going.  If
you really make a lot of racket, it will stop and retrain.  I've
never seen a T'blazer break a PEP mode connection due to poor
lines, and there are some lines that belong up in the Andes here in
lovely Rootstown!
