Hi,
        The MIB pktcSigDevToneDbLevel defined in draft-11 has range
(-250..-30) with default value as -40dBm. Normal dial tone is at -13dB
(means -130dBm). Current default value is a too loud signal. I would
recommend to change the defailt to -120 along with the range to
(-250..-110)

              This MIB Object must be set for each tone.
              When tones are formed by combining multi-frequencies,
              the level of each frequency shall be set so as to result
              in the tone level specified in this object at the a-b
              (T/R) terminals.

       DEFVAL { -40 }=20
