   PEP should correct any bad noise; all you should see is a pause.

   *My* theory: those "fantastic" connect rates are overrunning your UART, and 
you get a 3-block window full of bad blocks before the NAK causes the modem to 
retransmit the bad blocks and resync UUCP-g.

                Now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul
           And the meaning of all that I believed before escapes me
                  In this world of none, no thing, and no one
