It sounds as though something is being sent by the 85.
How do you program the 85, I use:
http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,59968.0.html
There is a pdf which describes how to set the fuse bits.
When you dump lfuse you should get E2 this gives:
8 Mhz on the internal clock.
I mention this because the example sends data every 0.1 sec not 1 sec.
Keep at it!
