They have changed the USRX Web site again at:

x2.usr.com

It now says:

ATTENTION!
Due to the overwhelming response to the availability of our Line Test,
we are in the process of adding additional phone lines. You may
currently experience a busy signal or message stating that your call
did not go through. This is a temporary situation, and we are working
to remedy it as quickly as possible.

You may also dial our BBS at (847) 982-5092 and follow the directions
below to perform the Line Test.

I called this BBS number and got my line test. Results are below.
Could not get RapidComm Fax/Terminal to work, so used terminal program
in my Windows 3.1 system. It is an old 3.1 so the pop-up box would
only let me connect at 19.2. The funny stuff in the last large
box is actually bar graphs that show up nicely in the Windows editor.

| x2 is possible on this connection, but you are likely to |
| experience reduced performance. |
| |
| Since line conditions can change from call to call, we recommend |
| that you make several calls to this test system to ensure an |
| accurate diagnosis. If you have multiple phone lines available |
| for use, we recommend that you try calling this system from each |
| line. |
| |
| Performance degradation is typically caused by noise in your |
| local phone lines. |
| |
| It's important to remember that telephone network configurations |
| can change, so your chances of making high-speed connections may |
| improve over time. |
