Now here's a little msytery.

I have a BT line and a Telewest line. Spread the risk.

I normally use the Telewest line for modem and fax traffic, BT for voice.
The Telewest line is noticeably louder than BT both with voice and
listening to the modem speaker. Both lines give me rock solid 33600/33600
connections with a V34+ Courier. No line drops, no network death, no loss
of routeing, no renegotiations, no retransmitted blocks.

However, with the TNT Ascends on the NER, I always get a number of Blers on
connection; this has to be during the negotiation because I get the same
number if I have been on for half an hour, or for half a second (if I drop
the connection the moment it's completed).

Via the Telwest line, it's always either 57 Blers or 120 Blers. Via BT,
it's always 11 or 12. There is no other difference, either in download
speed or reliability.

Even curiouser, with the old Max 4000s on the COLT ROMP, via 0171 664 0666,
it was always 0 Blers via both Telewest or BT.

Go figure...
