We've found that some internal Acer modems of this vintage (basically
before Win95 shipped...) won't work reliably with a port speed of 115,200 -
and the symptoms would often be strange (connect, drop, report no dialtone
until a power cycle). When they didn't weird out they'd still disconnect
frequently.

If the other end was an analog modem on a 57,600 serial port they'd work
just fine, but calling anything capable of delivering traffic above that
speed (we tried a couple different nasen) would cause them unending grief.
Of course, one of our dealers sold a pile of them.

Try setting the user's port speed to 57,600. It works for us...
