I now know it should have gone to met.dcom . Sorry. Does anyone know why a noisy line on a 212A data connection results in one or the other end seeing the RUBOUT or DELETE (127, 0177, Hex-EF) or the left brace (123, 0173, Hex-EC)? I've also seen the tilde (126, 0176, Hex-EE) followed by the lower case 'r' as well. At work I had "~r" a lot. Lately at home I get the RUBOUT (which creates havoc with my editing and will soon drive me to suicide!). There are other problems I run into as well with the 212A (official Bell version). Occassionally I make a connection and the "MC" lamp on the data set doesn't go out and I can't send or receive over the connection although the connection does stay up. Both 212A's were supposed to be in factory configuration although I didn't verify this myself. I suspect this is a "level" problem. People close to the destination seem to be able to work with these modems.
