There is nothing wrong with your modem. You said "... use Bell mode instead
of CCITT mode..." , well, as far as I know, in the US, you can't use CCITT,
as this is the standard used in Europe and Asia (mostly). Here, in Australia,
I have a modem which has both Bell and CCITT modes, but I can only use the
CCITT mode when connecting to local networks. If you decided to call someone
overseas (directly) at his/her home, then CCITT mode will work (provided
he/she is in Europe, Australia, Asia).
When I find out how to cut down the long distance call phone bill, I'm
going to use the Bell mode on my modem and logon to BBS and "stuff like that"
in the US.
I hope this explains your question.
