Message-ID: <12322@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Mon, 16-Apr-84 14:00:42 EST Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.12322 Posted: Mon Apr 16 14:00:42 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 23-Apr-84 01:06:50 EST Lines: 21 From: Gern I have, several times over the years, have had the terminals and 1200 baud modems I happen to be using at the time (never a hayes, usually AJ 1259 and other govrnmt equipment) suddenly GO WEST, without warning, or provoking the event, filling my screen with UUUUUUUs, each and every time, which loses the host (TAC or a MULTICS), but maintains the carriers. The last time ('bout a month ago), I had our people check it out on the spot to no avail. The conclusion is line-glitch, cosmic rays, demons, spooks, etc... You may take you pick. My point is stop picking on the Hayes as I believe that the UUUUUs is the UFO mystery of 1200 Baud modems in general, not any problem with the Hayes (I have used a 300 Baud Hayes briefly and feel that the Hayes modems by definition are faultless and flawless by their nature :-) ).
