I use a 300 Baud acoustic couple modem.
I seem to often get a noisy line.
In its more mild forms the noise looks like deletes.
I tend to notice this quickly since my default interrupt
character is delete and ctlecho is set.
Calling back does not always eliminate the problem.

At one time I tried fiddling with parity,
but this seemed to be too much of a pain.

I now have a (UNIX) shell script called "noisy"
that consists of the below line.

	stty intr '^C' start '^?'

If I notice an unexpected delete, I run the "noisy" command.
Deletes are ignored.
(At 300 Baud, the terminal doesn't need start/stop.)

This does not fix the problem, but it makes it
tolerable enough to read news.
