Courier line results and some telco questions...

Ok guys... I'm trying to rip GTE a new bunghole today and I kinda need
some help..

I'm getting SORRY connections off most of my lines (off a remote made
in the late 70s). I'm documenting the quality of the lines using a USR
Courier's ATI6, ATI11, and ATY11 results.

I'm graphing the ATY11 results across all my lines as evidence of how
bad they suck.

So, if anyone out there has a Courier and a few minutes to spare, could
you attach/dial out to the cleanest modem connection in your area and
cut/paste the results to ATI6, ATI11 and ATY11 to an email to me?

I'm graphing it, for possible presentation in court (if GTE is smart
they will just fix the problem with the info I am giving them)..

I think a great deal of my problems is dropped data on GTE's network,
causing the remote to fart out constantly, since my connect rates love
to fall rapidly after connection (I can get an inital connect of
26400/28800 to my cardinals, but it falls under 19.2k instantly)..

Thanks

Also, have any of you ever tried the tactic of "I don't have to prove
to you the lines don't work, you have to prove to me they do work"?
I'm pondering taking this route and seeing what happens :)

PS: here's what I've got so far.

#1 is my $35/month dial set's #1 number (Cardinal 28.8k)
#2 is a BBS in the next town (connected 28800/28800 - he's on a Sport
28.8k)
#3 is my $20/month dial set's #2 number (cardinal 28.8k)
