445.0. "DEL { line noise" by PHENIX::SMITH (William P.N. (WOOKIE::) Smith) Tue Apr 14 1987 21:04

   Also posted in electro_hobby and usenet notes files
    
    Many many moons ago I saw a very informative writeup on the line noise
    you can get with a modem on a PBX or central office if the PCM clocks
    are not in sync.  Apparently the adding or discarding of bits causes a
    phase 'hit' which shows up as a <DEL>{ on a 1200 baud modem. My modem
    line started doing this last Thursday, and the telco is gonna look into
    it (well, they are gonna do a 1KHz loss test to start with), but I
    would really like to be able to find that article.  ANyone know
    what I am talking about and have a copy of the article?  I'm not
    sure if it was a USENET news group or a NOTES file, but I figgered
    someone here might know.  The telco repair guy seems to be very
    helpful, I'd like to show him the article to explain where I think
    the problem is...
    
    Many thanks in advance.

    I remember the problem, (I never had it, but a friend did)
    comes from TPC running diagnostics that can't be 'heard' but
    that do screw up modems - are the appearances of the 'noise'
    regular?
    
    Try the PBX conference, or MODEMS or TERMINALS I believe I saw
    something in one of those once upon a time...
