DUN error 678

Im battling a problem connecting to any IP for a client
Consistently get Error 678 - The computer you are dialing into is not answering. It does dial & it does handshake.
She has a Conextant 56k Softmodem
All is fine in Device manager & the modem passes diags
I tried this on multiple IP's including my own which typically works fine
The phone number is correct as well as the settings in the connectoid & the networking applet
I have uninstalled & reinstalled DUN & the TCP/IP protocol.
Tried a new wall jack
Tried new phone cable
Plugged the modem straight into the wall bypassing the surge supressor
Did a selective startup (98) & didnt load the startup group applets
I suspect phone lines or modem.
Any thoughts?

It's probably an HCF model,(similar to PcTel HSP's).

here is a link that may be helpful: http://members.surfsouth.com/~chearn/modfaq.html

Here is an init string I found that may help:
Rockwell

&F&c1&d2&k3%c0w2+ms=k56,1,75,33600,75,44000
OR

This probably is not your problem, but thought I'd mention it anyway. Recently ran across the same problem, with the same error, with a friends daughters computer, dialing out of a college dorm room. Long story shortened, ended up having to add a 9 ahead of the dial-up number to get off campus.

I have had that problem ever since I uninstalled NetMedic. There's one registry key that, if deleted, gives me that message everytime I try to connect. As it took me three nights to get my modem installed without conflicting with my sound/video cards and I can't remember the whole procedure, I just end up putting that key back in there and letting it be.
The filename reference is:
C:\...\VitalSoft\Net.Medic\data\modemlog.txt
at
HK_L_M\Systen\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\0000

If I ever delete that key that is when I get the error 678.
