I'm curious, do you know if the systems you were connecting to had more than 9600 baud modems? For years I had a hell of a time with the connection every time it would rain. By the time they would send someone out, the line would dry out.

As it happens, yes, I know; they did, also on 14.4kbaud modems.

That's the very reason no connection over 9600 was stable. As the infrastructure was out of any of the two sides' control, no attempt was ever made to send someone out, it was well understood it will be useless.
