Thanks for the advice but, I tried that with the string mentioned above
and all I got was ERROR. I was obviously doing something wrong. So I am
now back to the default setting.

However, after posting the original letter I was back up to a 28.8
connection on both the loacal NER and the beta lines. Better than it was
but it would still be nice to see a 33.6 connection

Please advise further if at all possible.

Thanks
