 ->       The phone tech said that my community uses a "SLIC 90"  (or
 -> something like that) system to enable them to provide service to more

 JF> Those stupid SLIC's cause more trouble than you'd believe.   Your
 JF> analysis of the problem is right on the head.
 
 JF> You might want to try leaving this info in an e-mail to a fella named

 JF> about what to tell the phone guys.
 
 JF> FWIW, it is possible to get good connections through a SLIC, if

 SE> Hello Bill,

 SE> I am in need of some help with my phone co and the SLC system
 SE> they use.  They have been out to my house on two occassions and tell
 SE> me that everything is within tolerences.  I am using the Sporster V.34
 SE> (external) and am only able to see 19.k connects and a periodic 21.6.
 SE> I have taken the modem to neighboring communities (here in St. Paul,
 SE> Minnesota) and have seen 28.8 connects, so I know the modem (and my
 SE> setup) is working properly.

 SE> I'd sure appreciate any help you can give.  The phone co has
 SE> been very nice about it, but I get the impression they have done about
 SE> all they are going to do unless I can come up with something more to
 SE> tell them...

 SE> ōēīūī

 SE> (sorry about posting this in two areas, but I'm getting desperate for
 SE> help)
