I suspect this is a problem with the phone switching system, and not with
the modem.  The timing for answerback on the NEC 2420/30 follows the
Western Electric specifications precisely - and NEC doesn't use a
Rockwell chip set in the modem.  Clearly, it would be next to
impossible to expect a modem to work with every phone switching system
in the world, if the switching systems don't adhere to standards.
