Greg, I've had that problem too and experimented with logging in
manually.  It just hangs.

I think it may be a telebit modem at clout's end and a v.32/v.32bis
modem at the user's end.  I had this problem when I used to call
vpnet as a user many moons ago.  If I had v.42bis error correction/compression
on, I couldn't connect to one of Gerry's telebits.  If I shut the v.42bis
and the other crap off, I connected fine.

The reason was the handshaking.  After many bleeding ears full of carrier
trying to figure out what was going on I did.  The telebit first blew to
connect with PEP and then went down through the protocols until it found
one the other modem could agree to.  Mine on the other hand picked one
of the PEP ones and tried to signal that it was OK (even though it wasn't)
and the two handshaked wrong.  If I manually had my modem attempt carrier
after the first attempt by the telebit, they connected fine so I had
a delay put in my call up script to wait 10seconds before my modem went
online after dialing: atdtvpnet's#; wait 10 (Iforgetthecommand); ato

It skipped the first PEP carrier and then connected ok.

The pre-v.42bis telebits have this problem pretty bad, at least the
non-dual-standard ones.  The newer ones don't have this problem.  I guess
the v.42bis standard uses something too close to the old PEP standard.

This may be the problem @clout, but until I start listening to carriers
again, I won't know for sure.
