   Ok, here it goes:   
   First off, my modem is a SpeedStream 6520 Series, couldn't see where   
   the F/W version was.   
      
   ATU-C Current Tx rate:7040000 bits/sec   
   ATU-R Current Tx rate:800000 bits/sec   
   SNR: 11.5 (mainly) and 12.0 sometimes   
   Atten: 38.0   
   Rx CRC runs about 0-3 per sample period (15 min)   
      
   (The chart doesn't break out the numbers between UPLOAD/DOWN for the   
   stats.)   
      
   Hope you can see something from this.  Thanks!
