If you're talking about line noise while on a UNIX system or something,
that's not line noise, thats just UNIX doing silly things. When you xfer
with x/zmodem, does it work at first then start to get flakey then you get
several errors in a row and then the transfer gets canceled? 

Believe it or not, I think its because after about 20 or 30 blocks here at
UCSD, while the apple thinks about checking the block for errors, the UNIX
just cant wait to send the next one. After 30 blocks the timing is totally
off between the machines. Recently, I managed to get AE's crummy ReadyLink
(or whatever its called now) to do it, by turing "relaxed timing" switch
on.

Kermit doesn't seem to have the problem. Weird.
