This is the wrong msg area for Synchronet support questions, see http://wiki.synchro.net/howto:support for details.

It sounds like you have a modem configuration problem.

Sounds like line noise to me. It was common in the 80's and 90's when everything was done over phone lines. Have it checked by your provider.

Is there any chance that the signal is being carried over VoIP at any stage? That has been the #1 modem connectivity issue that I've had to deal with in an admin sense when I had anything similar.
The packets take different routes when VoIP is involved. Sometimes they get dropped, because the different routes travelled take too long, and they aren't put back together in time to make the right 'analog' signal. That doesn't hurt something with a data speed such as voice communications, but when you're working with compressed, high speed data over such a line, you're in for a lot of pain and hardship.
