A friend of mine bought a Practical Peripherals 2400 to use with his 
Apple IIgs, and found that once he moved the modem a couple of feet away 
from his monitor that the little bit of line noise he had been experiencing
stopped.  I also know a couple people that use the modem with Mac SEs, but they
haven't reported any problems.

Could it be that the modem is just a little over-sensitive to interference?
