set to different word lengths, stop bits, or parities.

7-E-1, or vice-versa, using your communications
software.
• You may be experiencing line noise. Enable error
correction, if it is disabled, or hang up and call
again; you may get a better connection.
• At speeds above 2400 bps, the remote modem
