OK, that is a problem. Have them find out how to set it to 56K data and
see what happens. Sounds like either the way they are attempting to dial
the call is causing it to use facilities that may not support 64K for
whatever reason or the telco has something messed up with call routing
between the user's interface and yours. In many areas dialing without the
areacode, will not allow the call to be placed at 64K (PacBell is one
telco known to do this) so that would be something to verify with the user
also.
