Any time after heavy rain, Telescum delivers more line noise than signal
to my modem. I get bits of signal, long periods of inactivity, and
every now and then the modem just gives up and drops off line.
not familiar with all of kmail config and setting it up as you question.
i do have questions about your isp setup and rain.
'telescum'.
is this a telephone company which you send and receive over a 'land line'?
or are you 'land line' send and satellite down linked?No, I'm in the city on copper wiring. I've just bought a 'rural modem'
(Dynalink V1456VQE - R1 Rural) which is intended for use in the country where
signals are expected to be lousy. It's managing remarkably well against
Telecom's line noise, considering I can hear the noise crackling in my phone.
do you know of anyone else with same telco [telephone company]?About half of New Zealand.
ria, if kmail configs can not help you, you do need to get after yourTried that. They send out a technician, who listens as I demonstrate that
telco provider.
the line noise is there even with the phone / modem plugged in to the master
socket on the incoming line and with all my house wiring disconnected, then
says it must be a fault in my wiring. (!!!)
wet lines can happen anywhere. check 'drop box' yourself. it is whereAs it happens the master socket is inside my house, and it doesn't get wet.
telco service line junctions to line entering your home. easy cure if
you have a leak there is to spray with silicon. better yet, use urethane.
Anything from there on out is Telecom's responsibility, apparently.
other wise, it is in cable junction at your drop or somewhere back toThat's where it is. Unfortunately there's nothing I personally can do about
central office.
it.
if you are satellite down linked, noise is caused by rain blocking
microwave signal and nothing to do but wait for clear weather.
a few years back, a poster was having trouble with noise in land line
when it rained and was sol because his telco was not bound by laws as
they are here in usa. he had to restrict his internet usage to when he
had clear days.
I'm fairly sure Telecom are required to provide me with a decent connection.
It's just nailing them down that's difficult.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to see what else I can do (like Kmail settings) to
minimise the nuisance.
