Yup.

Is the terminal program closed and then NCU opened at this point? If the
terminal program owns the connection, NCU won't be able to get it.
You'll need a terminal program on the computer side that A) is willing
to leave the modem connected and B) properly releases control of the
serial port, and C) have NCU then grab the serial port and use the
previously-established hardware session.

What exactly *are* the strange characters, and what is the XXXXX? That
almost sounds like a possible speed-mismatch depending on the characters
coming back. xxxxx`xxxx`xxxxxxxx`xxx I think was fairly symptomatic of a
mismatch between 1200 and 2400 bps.
Gads, I thought I recycled those braincells...
