Sorry I didn't get in on the beginning of this thread, so I don't know
the execution environment. However, what it sounds like to me is PON
over POTS (i.e., plain ol' noise over plain old telephone service). Are
you using a modem and dialing over standard telephone lines? If so, it
must be noise (esp. if the modem is more than a few years old), and
Kermit is *not* the problem. More modern modems, esp. those with error-
correction, do a terrific job of cleaning that nasty noise up, but only
if they are talking with an equivalent error-correcting modem. If you
are using a PC on an Ethernet link (with or without a terminal server),
then I'm stumped as to what the problem could be.
