	Ma Bell and 1200 baud don't always mix.  Using a 1200 baud line
with an average everyday voice line will occasionally bring up some
garbage on the screen.  Normally this garbage only effects what
you see on the screen and dosen't get transmitted to the system
you're hooked into.   The only way to get around this is to get
a dedicated 1200 baud line (the line runs at 2400 then) which
will cost you a pretty penny.
