- Usually the co-located channel bank and/or your modems are not
- introducing enough loss into the 2-wire loop. Most channel units are
- designed assuming the CPE is some distance away, and the connecting
- wires will introduce some loss. Some channel units have switches that
- will adjust the loss or impedance.
-
- Or the channel units are not up to "toll" quality. Or you have some
- grounding/noise problems. Or possibly the impedance of the channel units
- does not match the modem impedance.

- Al Varney - just my opinion
