- Your new modem is probably connecting with MNP error correction; this
- sends and recieves data in blocks which results in the jerky screens you
- see. You can 'fix' the problem by disabling error correction, if you like
- (I do find the jerky behaviour at 2400 baud annoying, on good lines I
- prefer to drop the error correction and take my chances...).
