If you're still getting gibberish, chances are your connection settings are out. Somewhere in ZTerm there will be an option to alter the data bits, parity and stop bits of the connection. If these are wrong, the gibberish you describe is the usual symptom. The correct setting is whatever your ISP is using, this is almost always 8 data bits, No parity and 1 stop bit, commonly expressed as 8N1. The second most common flavour (though not nearly as prevalent) is 7 data bits, Even parity and 1 stop bit (7E1). If neither works, I'd revert the settings back to 8N1 and try a different tack as it is extermely unlikely that your ISP is using something other than those two.
