- It could be because USR's transmit louder. When directly connected to a
- USR, typing AT%Q1 from command mode on the Supra reported a receive level
- of -6dBm and transmit of -15dBm. Connected to another Supra, it reported
- -14dBm receive and -15dBm transmit. My apartment has some bad crosstalk
- between the two lines. When my roommate with a noname Rockwell based 14.4
- is on the modem, you can hear the modem in the background on the other
- line, but its quiet enough to use it. When my roommate with a Dual
- Standard is on the modem, you can't hear what anyone says on the other
- line over the modem.
