The conditions you describe could be caused by your modem connecting at
1200 baud in stead of 2400 baud (due to a poor line, perhaps).  This has
occasionally happend to me.  If your modem generates a message like
"CONNECT 2400" when a connection is made, you can set the "Dialer auto-baud"
option in the modem parameters, and JR-Comm will automagically know what
baud rate to run at.  IMHO, Jack should probably make this the default
setting...

BTW, I use JR-Comm with a 2400 baud modem with no difficulties all the time.
