Make sure they're both set for Leased Line operation (register S27). 2. If you're using cu then you'd want the calling modem set appropriately. On my PB 2400 Plus S27 bit 0,1 allows these options: 0 async. 1 sync. mode 1: async. control of call placement. 2 sync mode 2: stored number dial controlled by DTR. 3 sync. mode 3: manual dial thru DTR control of data/talk switch (requires telephone handset). bit 2 is 0 for dialup line, 1 for leased. bit 3 is not used. bit 4 is source for sync. transmit clock: 0 modem (EIA pin 15). 1 data terminal (EIA pin 24). bit 5 is reserved bit 6 0 for CCITT 1 Bell 212A bit 7 reserved I think a standard leased line is supposed to be 4 wires.
