I was wondering if someone could help me out.  I have a 386 compatible machine
with an ADC MD1202 external modem (1200/300 baud) connected to Com1.  Here's
the problem:  when I call the ux1 system, or PLATO (CERL), I cannot get a
connection.  Instead, I get the first tone (assumedly 1200), then it steps up
to the higher tone.  No connect.  Someone hypothesized that this was due to
error correcting modems on their end, but I have no idea.  I can call other
numbers, such as this uxa system, BBSs, etc.  Anyone have any ideas?  Here
are the numbers I have problems with:

(UIUC dialups)
PLATO (CERL): 333-2668
Mossberg/term1: 333-4000

Tanks a lot.
