Does anyone know how I can convince those > fools at the phone company to give me a conditioned line? During the USRobotics beta testing stage of v.fc > v.34 (not V.34+) I had my line conditioned. Line Conditioning in my case rendered the higher frequencies of the line useless. It turned a beta Courier achieving regular 21.6k to 26.4k into a full time 14.4k modem. I used the Conditioned Line for almost a week for test purposes, reported results to USR, and had the Conditioning removed. Remember,... Your mileage may vary. As for convincing them to 'give' you a conditioned line...they aren't free. It costs $$ to have a conditioned line. I simply called MaBell here and ordered it. fwiw, Later...
