It's really wierd. My Telebit talks at 9600 to proxftl and uunet. But
it won't talk to novavax. All use the same setup.

To add to the confusion, if I take my Telebit over to proxftl and
call novavax, it works! So I tried bringing it back here and
installing the modem parameters used at proxftl. Nope! I tried using
a different phone line from my system; that made no difference either.

What happens is that novavax whistles at my modem and mine whistles
back, but they never connect.

I talked to a guy over at Telebit; he had me fiddle with a register
which is supposed to make the modem more tolerant to line noise. That
didn't help either. I tried connecting to his modem. That worked fine!

I've been completely unable to make sense of this behavior.

Any ideas before I ship the modem back to Telebit?
