Let me guess.... You have the port set up as "LOGIN = SHARE" from smit, and
you are at update level "3001/9030G/July".   The solution is to set the port
to either DELAY or ENABLE (please note the "ENABLE" solution is a temporary
workaround for the problem if all else fails).  Make sure the telebit is 
set up to follow true carrier, disconnect on DTR loss, respond to local
commands only, etc.   If you have to set the port to "ENABLE" the following
modem setups are also recommended: NO ECHO, NO COMMAND RESPONSE.  You will 
also have to "pdisable" the port any time you want to use it to dial-out.

The best solution is to call 1-800-237-5511 (IBM Software Defect Support) and
request the 3002 update.
