- Simply because a user continues to login does not change the fact that
- there is *no* error correction. I often have users login after such
- connections. Since my lines are pretty clean, they have very little
- trouble except for their transfer rates which stay *below* 1400 cps.
- I have even seen one 26400 connect with no error correction which managed
- to stay connected.
-
- You should *never* see line garbage on a LAPM connection. Never. I don't
- think you saw that at all. What you may have seen was "buffer barf" from
- a previous connection (though even that is highly doubtful).
