Request for info and/or help:
From time to time, I'm experiencing lockup of a Mac+ running Macterminal 2.0
and using a Hayes 1200 modem dialed into our 3B20 UNIX system.  It seems to
be related to line noise, since I sometimes see stray characters on the
screen.  The keyboard locks first, then if I choose "reset terminal" or
"unlock keyboard" from the menus, it will either a) Do what I want it
to and let me continue, or b) FREEZE the Mac+ COMPLETELY (i.e. not even
the mouse is usable and I must reboot!!!)

Obviously, only a) should happen.  Does anyone know what's going on
here?  Have I missed a bug report for Macterminal 2.0?  I'm running 3.1
System and related files, but this happened before I got this software
as well.

I've gotten to the point where I'd rather exit (fortunately to
Ramstart's ramdisk) and restart Macterminal than risk resetting
Macterminal from within the program.  Any help/info is appreciated.
