We have that same problem periodically, D channel setup but no data.
It has to do with the interconnect and route the call makes coming (in our
case) from USWest into GTE.
Have the user back the ISDN modem down to 56K and try to connect.
It supposedly takes the encoding out. There are two possible things
that can be wrong according to the GTE guy. A switch is encoded wrong or a
span somewhere is only 56K. There is usually a local (to you) test number
that loops
back the data to the caller. Try and get that number and have the user test
the
modem calling it. The test number they give an ISDN customer is the first
switch
(user) not the last switch (PM3). You want the test number for your co.

I feel your pain.
