Not 3.7.2c3? Note 3.7.2 had modem connect issues, and this sounds like that
may be the problem.

Do they show up on an S port? Or *only* when looking at modems? Do they
have an external modem - can they hear the tones? Is it endless negotiation?
Do they share an exchange? Or something else in common that is different
from the tests you did? ie, they all come in over lines that are backhauled,
and yours aren't.

Sounds like modem negotiation failure. But that can have different causes,
from code revisions, to call routing.

I doubt this is it. The modem connection would succeed first, THEN RADIUS
gets into the picture (unless you are using Call-Check - which is only in the
3.8 betas). What you describe here makes it sound like they aren't getting
a modem connection at all. If they were then you'd see them on a S port
in CONNECTING or USERNAME state.
