IIRC, 650 is when Windows does not 'see' a response from the remote (PM3)
after carrier detect, be it beginning of PAP, etc. typical fix for us is
to twiddle with port speeds, and try <insert commas, turn on/off
v90/k56flex/v34, workaround here>. If that does not work, turning on
post-dial terminal window will give better idea as to what is happening,
if the caller is getting garbage on the line upon connection, or whatever.

Microsoft KB Article Q163111 lists all of the RAS error codes, and
sometimes I ponder if they actually come up... e.g. 677 a person
answered instead of a modem,
