Although I too like the idea of just giving this person another modem, I
know that wouldn't work at my place. I think you are on the right track by
trying to turn off various protocols, etc. I've found several modems that
will connect at lower speeds (different compression and error correction
protocols involved) but exhibit the symptoms you describe at their maximum
rated speed. I generally go back down to 1200 baud and then start up the
ladder until things start acting up.

By the way, I just got our first PM3 operational yesterday, after
Southwestern Bell found the loop they had in the PRI circuit. However, I
am keeping several racks of analog modems around for a year or two for
people with analog modems that don't like the PM3. Besides, there's no
point in having their 14.4 and 28.8 modems tie up my PM3 ports.
