This can happen on directly dialed connections using non-error-correcting
modems. If the line is noisy, you'll see noise (garbage characters), and
if it's really bad, the modem might drop the connection because the carrier
signal is not recognizable.

The nonsense characters could be noise, or they could be buffer overruns
occurring because of a lack of adequate flow control.

We'll be glad to help. Please tell us what kind of computer you are making
the connection from, and which Kermit program and version you are using, and
what kind of modem you have, and the speed and flow-control settings in your
Kermit program.
By the way, since this only happens on one connection and not others, the
problem might be on the far end -- the answering modem, or the "stty"
settings in your SCO session.
