The emulator follows a very complex set of rules when displaying characters on the screen as described in the “Escape Sequence” section. If any of the characters in the data stream are lost, it is possible for the next few characters to appear in the wrong place, appear as garbage or even display the remaining characters in the wrong font, color or reverse video. Make sure the emulator is set to the correct baud rate or speed as the host you are communicating with. If using a modem, make sure the speed is the same as the modem and the remote modem is also of the same speed. Make certain the parity is set correctly. Most modern machines use NONE for parity. You can try other parity settings as well. If you are communicating with a UNIX system, in most cases, the parity should be EVEN, especially when communicating with an AT&T CMS. If the problem is inconsistent and you are using a modem to communicate with the remote host, it may be line noise. Check your modem or have your local telep
