Narrative:
After landing on 23R at rdu, exited runway at B-5, contacted ground on 121.7 and was instructed to turn right on bravo and taxi to the ramp. Passing B4/T4 contacted ramp control on 129.22 and was instructed to 'standby.' stopped short of B3/T3 awaiting further instructions. I was alternately monitoring ground (121.7) and ramp control (129.22). My first officer was communicating with company (131.95) and also monitoring my radio. The next transmission that we heard was ramp control asking our identify (flight number). During this time, an large transport exited runway 23R at B-3 at a high rate of speed passing dangerously close to our aircraft. We heard no xmissions between the large transport and ground or ramp control. We did hear partial xmissions between an medium large transport which was approaching from the opposite direction and ground and ramp control. This medium large transport followed the large transport to their respective gates. We then received clearance from ramp control to enter the ramp and proceeded without further incident. I believe this incident was caused by the failure of rdu ground control and ramp control to coordination. We were monitoring all of the required frequencys to the best of our and our equipment's ability.

Title: CAPT OF ACR LTT ACFT WAS DELAYED ON THE TAXIWAY BY RAMP CTL RESULTING IN ANOTHER LGT ACFT ALMOST COLLIDING WITH THEIR ACFT.
Narrative: AFTER LNDG ON 23R AT RDU, EXITED RWY AT B-5, CONTACTED GND ON 121.7 AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TURN R ON BRAVO AND TAXI TO THE RAMP. PASSING B4/T4 CONTACTED RAMP CTL ON 129.22 AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO 'STANDBY.' STOPPED SHORT OF B3/T3 AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. I WAS ALTERNATELY MONITORING GND (121.7) AND RAMP CTL (129.22). MY FO WAS COMMUNICATING WITH COMPANY (131.95) AND ALSO MONITORING MY RADIO. THE NEXT XMISSION THAT WE HEARD WAS RAMP CTL ASKING OUR IDENT (FLT NUMBER). DURING THIS TIME, AN LGT EXITED RWY 23R AT B-3 AT A HIGH RATE OF SPD PASSING DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO OUR ACFT. WE HEARD NO XMISSIONS BTWN THE LGT AND GND OR RAMP CTL. WE DID HEAR PARTIAL XMISSIONS BTWN AN MLG WHICH WAS APCHING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND GND AND RAMP CTL. THIS MLG FOLLOWED THE LGT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE GATES. WE THEN RECEIVED CLRNC FROM RAMP CTL TO ENTER THE RAMP AND PROCEEDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF RDU GND CTL AND RAMP CTL TO COORD. WE WERE MONITORING ALL OF THE REQUIRED FREQS TO THE BEST OF OUR AND OUR EQUIP'S ABILITY.
