I have a Ventel modem with the same problem that I use with Procomm
Plus.  I put the code to turn off MNP in the beginning of the phone
number in the dialing directory.  In my case:

Mxxx-xxxx

This took a while to figure out, of course.  I may not work for you if
your modem doesn't like seeing things like:

ATDTMxxx-xxxx

Still, it's worth a try.
