I want to thank all of you for your help. I was able, after much research
and trial-and-error testing, to resolve this problem. While I hesitate to
make this public (for reasons I'm sure you'll understand) I really owe it
to the persons who pitched-in to do so - perhaps you can use a good yuck!

The phone number of my PM3 ends with "8343" and the customer had entered a
phone number into his dial up networking that ended in "4383." He was
dialing a wrong number. Amazingly, a fax machine was answering the wrong
number. His 3Com fax modem is now linking up at 49333 bps every time.

Sometimes the solutions to complicated problems lie in the most basic
concepts.
