In a few weeks, when we're decreasing our dialin-pool, I'll send
him Multitechs for him to experiment.

*But*: Look at our failure rate. Its not that much better, its even
worse.

Here stats from our cell, the last 10-12 days or, one summary for
approx. 12 modems sending in parallel, with a setup like this:

freebsd 2.2.5, hylafax 4.0p1, livingston portmaster, Multitech modems,
accessed via nettty (a tty emulator from livingston).

German phone line quality 8-} 45.9% failures. Maybe we're dumb 8-}
