I have checked this with two separate ISP's and it is
the exact same number. Is this a modem reporting error or is there a major problem at my telco?

Freq Level (dB)

150 18
300 16
450 15
600 15
750 15
900 15
1050 15
1200 15
1350 15
1500 15
1650 15
1800 15
1950 15
2100 16
2250 16
2400 16
2550 16

The 65,535 is not a valid # - it is the decimal value of 2 bytes (16bits) that are all 1's - or
HEX(FF)= 65,535

Either the modem isn't reporting the value correctly, or the register is only valid during a connection: use HyperTerminal to dial in, use the +++ escape sequence to go to command mode while still on line, then examine the i11/echo loss values.

Aloha,
Richard

Ok did what you said. This is what I got from the first ISP:

Well, assuming the modem is otherwise working properly, I wouldn't be too worried.... could be something overlooked when 3Com did the code for your modem - it appears not to be delivering a real measurement of near echo loss....
