I have a rather quaint question.  How low is low for TTL?  The reason that 
I ask is because some of this stuff I just do by command, meaning that I 
have notes taken that I follow.  I have refused some jobs because I didn't 
know how to do this same thing.  Mine are set at 43200. Is that high or 
low?  (yes, I know that I should read more, but if it isn't broken, don't 
fix it right?)

Thanks.
