Can anyone help.  I've recently purchased a GVC modem from Hong Kong.  I 
can't get it to work faster than 19.2k without it dropping out after one 
minute.  

When I bought the modem the coms lead didn't work, so I got a friend to 
patch me a lead up (swapping two wires over basically).  When I connect 
I can hear background noise that sounds like a radio signal.  Someone 
has suggested it's the background noise that's causing the modem to drop 
out at the higher speeds.  Any offers?

Cheers
Graham
