 GARBAGE SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN

 Problem:

 When calling some systems, especially large ones such as Com-
 puserve or the Source, all incoming characters look like
 garbage.

 Solution:

 The communications parameters are probably wrong. Most of
 these systems need a setting of Even parity, 7 data bits, and
 1 stop bit. This is different from the normal standard of N81
 used for most bulletin boards.
