subject: USR Sportster Misinterprets Ring?

Hello.
I recently purchased a new USR Sportster 33.6 Internal Fax/modem, and am
¨having trouble connecting to _some_ BBSs. What happens, about 75% of the
time, ¨is the modem incorrectly interprets the ring sound for a busy
signal. At least ¨that's what it looks like to me. I hear the phone ringing
through the modem's ¨speaker, but my Comms package (ProComm 2.1) reports
"BUSY". I never ¨experienced any trouble of this kind with my
previous modem (Supra 14.4).
Any ideas on what is going on, and if this is possible to fix?

Marcel.
