The .110 release of the HCF is realy a problem child.

It prefers K56Flex over V.90 and then does a horrible job with K56Flex.

The documented way to get to V.90 is +MS=V90, but the damn thing ignores it.

The comma trick should work to get the modem to miss the V.8bis tone and therefore
not even try K56flex, but the .110 release of V.90 is not very good either.

Have the user upgrade. The .156 release on Zoltrix is pretty good, but somewhat hard
to find, check the following URL:
