Another possiblity: Specify a speed fo EXTB and make sure that the the
transmit and receive clock outs on the modem are connected to the clock ins
on the RS-232 port (just use a 25 pin straight through ribbon cable).

I've done this myself - it DOES work.

BTW: outgoing calls should be placed normally using one of the "internal"
speeds.
