The AX/9624c is a MNP 6 modem and will only talk at 9600 to other
MNP 6 modems.  This is a proprietary Microcom protocol, although
licensed to DEC and Codex and maybe others.  It does not support
V.32, and will only talk to "standard 9600 baud" modems at 2400 bps.

The person you talked to was probably not familiar the AX/9624c and
assumed that it could support V.32.  MNP6 is one of the less popular
9600 bps protocols and is not widely supported.
