- A recent visit by a GTE line technician confirmed my paranoid
- fears: the reason my Internet PPP connection goes down a few
- times a day, the reason my FAX goes dead from time to time, and
- the reason my voice lines go nuts from time to time is the
- presence of line multiplexers on my phone lines.
-
- If you are reading this posting and don't know what these
- potholes on the Information Superhighway are, you really don't
- want to know. These devices allow the phone company to charge
- for several lines without having to lay the required amount of
- copper pairs.
-
- Unfortunately these line multiplexers often interfere with
- high speed modems. Sometimes they even wipe out basic
- POTS functions such as Touch-Tone dialing and voice conversations.
-
- So I raise the question: Is there a reliable, high quality
- line multiplexer that does not bollix v.34 modems and does
- not intermittently fade out to static?
