Is there anything special about connecting via 761-3000 at 1200 baud? I
have just helped a newuser log on from a terminal with an internal 1200
baud modem, and the best connection we made gave a lot of junk characters
and then, when it paused, I entered a couple of characters, and the login
prompt came up. Just doing returns didn't work.

I had the same problem back in 1992/93 when I had a 1200 baud modem.
I don't really have any brilliant insight, except that sending a
periodic break did the trick for me.

My 1200 baud modem hasn't done anything funny like that.  The only funny thing
is the initial garble, which was nicely explained somewhere deep in the old
item 1.  Usually if I hit one carriage return after the garble, I get a
coherent login prompt.  I only use a 1200 baud modem, and I've been using it
several times a day for the past month.  So whatever is happening  is not
*simply* because it is a 1200 baud modem
PS My antique is a Practical Peripherals PM1200SA mini.  This of course means
nothing to me, but it may give one of you *real* Grexers some insight into
what is going on. ;-)

not feeling like wading through old #1, why is there all that gunk when you
dial in?

If I pressed enter (return?), I got a lot of xxxxx's, and then it froze. 
Returning a character worked. Is there a *best* response, to get it to
train down? (I suspect it's...if it works, use it.)
