If you mean new to the house, then that doesn't apply - new house, 
line installed just over a year ago. From box to exchange haven't a 
clue.

Brilliant idea - I'm not getting at you but I don't particularly want 
to spend another �99 to make a modem work properly. I can get it to 
connect (semi) reliably at 31k4, and 33k6 to other systems. BT have 
fiddled with the gain and other things, but nothing seems to have 
made any difference.
