Summary: Problems connecting to hosts machines


I have been having problems with my Radio Shack RS-232 Program Pak.  When I
try to connect to the Amdahl here at AT&T, I get the  carrier signal, then
when I switch the modem from talk to data, I get garbage on my screen.  I'm
using the pak with a Coco3, an upgraded Multipak Interface, and Datapack
III+ communications software.  I've checked the baud (1200), word length
(8), stop bit (1), and parity (even) and everything is set correctly.  The
tin lands on the pak look like they've oxidized a little.  I used an eraser to
try to get the oxidation off and it works sometimes.  Other times, it has no
affect.  Usually, after rubbing and rubbing, I can get the pak to work,
but if I shut it down for even a few seconds, I get the same problem.  Is
anyone else having this problem?  What have you done to correct it?


Any help is appreciated.
