Hum, as I recell when the line is disconnected, the Receive level reports
a fixed number like -22.5dB rather than a range, so that must mean that
some sort of life is going on there.
Could you do me a _REALLY_ big favour and check your wiring to see what
it is? Was it the standard Livingston wiring? And does your wiring use
all 10 pins of the RJ-45? Our wires only use 8, and one thing we thought
was that perhaps when they wired up the breakout for the PairGain they
started it at off 1 wire off... That would be enough to get the PairGain
to report the link is electrically OK because you'd still get 1 of the 2
receive/transmit wires hooked up.
