It was suggested to my by a customer service tech. at Telebit to try
changing the value of s120 to either 3 or 12 (I have a particuliarly
bad phone line, the worst that the tech had ever seen any way). His
explanation of what the s120 register did, was that it throttled down
the useable bandwidth of the phone line. He never did give me very
much information about what this register did, dispite all of my 
question, so I could be wrong (not that it has ever happend before :-).

I hope this helps fuzzify the mudifications.
