Lines: 18 [ 212A line noise] It's a 212A feature- poor filtering capabilities. However there are two things to do - 1. hang up and call again, your next connection might be better. Also in this category is have the phone company check out both sides of the connection; Technically the phone company is supposed to provide data capability on the line if you use a certified 212A modem. I have actually gotten results from this approach- it turned out that one of our lines had a second live connection on it, once disconnected data quality was restored. 2. use parity- most everybody configures for no parity, consequently even this limited error checking is circumvented.
