Re: disconnect problems,

Unfortunately, in Bolivia we can't seem to convince the local telco to give up
an E1 to use an Ascend box, so we have even greater disconnect troubles. We're
using 16-bit analog modems, and experience a number of random disconnect
problems. Customers call up thinking its us, and then if it does go away, they
call up to congradulate us on improving our service when actually we've done
nothing.

If you find anyway to truly measure noise levels and determine where the telco
problem lies or how to control it (other than going to a digital ASCEND
solution) please let me know. It continues to drive us nuts.
