I bought a used 1040st system from someone.  Included in this package
deal was a 1200 baud Avatex modem.  I saw this person using the system
before I packed it up and I didn't notice any problems but as soon as
I brought the system home and set it up I had problems.

The problem is not that serious its just annoying.  Whenever I use the modem
to connect I get the characters '}i' periodically in my text.  The host
computer doesn't seem to notice anything wrong.  These extra characters 
seem to appear about once every minute or so.  Occasionally the characters
'ok' appear and sometimes a line of garbage comes in.  

Any suggestions?
