At least it is better than a pair gain system, they are fixed at 9600 baud!

>A RIM is an amazing 'corner cutting' device that means all our local
>phone lines get digitised onto a fibre, then at the exchange all the
>lines get converted back to analog and then into the exchange which
>immediately digitises them again.

>So when you see the error on your X2 modem 'Multiple CODECS in
>channel' thats what it means - only one D/A or A/D conversion allowed
>between your modem and the ISP's system.

>Well I've got three, and whats worse if I dial up my other line in the

>Apart from high speed modems, I will not be able to receive calling

>So lesson of the day - if you want advanced comms facilities don't

>So if anyone else has this problem - e-mail me, maybe we will start up
