Is that with the standard &F1 template init?  When calling Paul's M34F
(and to a lesser extent, his Viper) I have to disable the Courier's V.42
detect phase (S27=48), otherwise most of the connects are 28800/NONE. 
Using ModemTrans for this is fairly trivial, but I still cannot understand
why I've only ever seen this problem when specifically calling Paul's
board, and NOWHERE else.

Frequently.  :)
