Trouble connecting to uunet

I often have trouble connecting to uunet, dialing in through the
Boston line with V.32 (MNP disabled).  The modem appears (from the
front panel) to have synced up fine, but I get stuff like (extracted
from logs):


sendthem (DELAY

Other times I get huge lines of total garbage.  Sometimes I get stuff like:

sendthem (DELAY

It looks a little too much like real data to be a modem problem.  This
sort of thing happens maybe twice a week, and apparently happens all
night long, because by 6 AM or so, the machines still haven't gotten
connected.  (I get these logs if I do a Uutry manually in the morning
when I haven't gotten any news).  Any ideas?

Ditto, with V.32 PPI modem.

This only affects a line or some lines of the lower lines in the hunt
group, as it doesn't happen when I switch to higher lines.

The first line in boston was having problems (eating its own output).
The line and modem has been reset.  If anyone sees a similar problem,
please let us know (via postmaster or phoning our CS).

Thanks

do you have a rack of WB modems in Boston?  What other cities do you
have these?  

Too bad you don't have them in Orlando or Tampa :)

BTW -- do you charge extra for using these local numbers?
