REACH! MODEM/LINE PROBLEMS
There have been reports from Reach! modem users of a problem that
occurs during communications with another system.
While receiving data at 1200 baud, the character "}" is inserted
intermittently throughout the data. It does not seem to matter
which communications program is being used at the time. Also, the
problem does not occur when communicating at 300 baud.
It has been found that this condition is due to noise being
generated on the telephone lines. The "}" character is what the
communications program is translating the received noise into.
