    Check the European homologation lists....the PTT's over
    there are pretty fussy about compliance.

    However, rather than continuing the "my modem is more
    compliant than your modem" theme....

    The Codex certainly has never been accused of being
    intuitively obvious to configure.   I has a  LOT of
    options...much like the TB series.  Small mismatches in just
    about any of them will prevent higher speed use.

    Since you are local, you can contact Codex locally at
    415-341-1616.  Ask for either Don Kelly or Bruce Stewart 
    and you should be able to get a set-up manual for the Codex
    unit.   

    If you are still unable to connect, I might be able to help
    if you provide the setup on your modem and the
    Codex....although as you noted, it is not your nickel...
