Youre' display your prejudices... not everyone likes chocolate.
Try offering it ice cream - the vents on the side are great for this.
If that fails, try money, booze, women.

Seriously:
	1) You can contact telebit, 1-800-TELEBIT and their support is
	   GREAT
	2) There are known problems, especially for negotiating with
	    machines that are NOT (3,64).  Some sun's and SVR4's are
	    like this, many SCO's and XENIX's are patched to this
	    TB won't give out free upgrades unless you have a real
	    problem which you can document!  But they can help with
	    setup for free.
	3) You will need supporting evidence of the problem.
	   It could be settings your end or his end.  Unless you have a
	   detailed trace the support people - tlebit or the net -
	   can't doo much.

Example: I have asymtotic zero problems dialing out, except to ONE site
which is always a problem and I thingk it is their controller - we've
tried swapping modems!  BUT some sites have problems dialing in from a
WB to my WB.  

Document the syndrome.  Analyse.  Use "wolf-fencing" not "buckshot"
