In my experience the quality of the POTS conversion done by the BitSURFR (and by Pipelines too) is nowhere near as good as what you get from the switch, so it works a lot better on a real POTS line even if the distance is several thousand feet - versus two feet in the BitSURFR case. I've never got a connect at anything > 33.6 while hanging off the back of a BitSURFR or Pipeline. -Phil ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request@bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <<A HREF="http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq">http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq</A>> </PRE> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <HR> <STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A HREF="msg11205.html">Re: (ASCEND)56K</A></STRONG></LI> <UL> <LI><EM>From</EM>: "Leon McCalla" <ascend@caribbeanlink.com></LI> </UL> </UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <HR> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11234.html">(ASCEND) Re: Dyn Stat WAS Users online time...</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11237.html">(ASCEND) Re: OSPF usability?</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11205.html">Re: (ASCEND)56K</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg11210.html">Re: (ASCEND)56K</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="maillist.html#11238"><STRONG>Main</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thrd257.html#11238"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> </BODY> </HTML>
