A recent visit by a GTE line technician confirmed my paranoid
fears: the reason my Internet PPP connection goes down a few
times a day, the reason my FAX goes dead from time to time, and
the reason my voice lines go nuts from time to time is the
presence of line multiplexers on my phone lines.

If you are reading this posting and don't know what these 
potholes on the Information Superhighway are, you really don't
want to know.  These devices allow the phone company to charge
for several lines without having to lay the required amount of
copper pairs.

Unfortunately these line multiplexers often interfere with
high speed modems.  Sometimes they even wipe out basic
POTS functions such as Touch-Tone dialing and voice conversations.

So I raise the question: Is there a reliable, high quality
line multiplexer that does not bollix v.34 modems and does
not intermittently fade out to static?
