Have you made sure that the CVG modem is not using XON/XOFF?  How about
the T2500?

If the T2500 has no trouble to other sites with the same modulation (2400),
then it's not likely to be a problem in the T2500's settings.

However, if this is the only site that uses 2400 (all the others use PEP),
and the CVG already does have XON/XOFF disabled, then it may require a
change to the T2500's settings...
