Sorry Barry,
	I don't agree.
	I have regularly called London FROM New Zealand, which is about
	as far away as you can get!   

	I use a CCITT V22.bis modem, 2400 bps FDX asynch dial up via the
	PSTN, with no MNP or other fancy schemes.  Sometimes I have probs
	connecting at all, but when I do, I have run some quite long 
	sessions with negligible line noise.  And if you were to
	have Trailblazers at both ends, you would see bps rates *MUCH*
	greater than 1200.
