Re: Wardialing - Odd Results

[Atom Powers <apowers () digipen edu>]

I've seen this if the data rate for the system you are dialing in to and 
the program you are using are not in synch. For instance, if the system 
you are dialing to is 9600bps and you have your hyperterminal set to 
1500bps you will end up getting many duplicate bits, because you are 
sampling more frequently than you are recieving. The result is garbage 
like you show below even if the system you are dialing to is responding 
with ASCII characters.
