This may or may not be related to your problem.  I have noticed that
if I have a pulse dial phone connected to the same line as the 3b1 and
I dial with it, the 3b1 will see it as ringing and the modem will answer.

If nothing else, this indicates that the ring detector circuitry can
be triggered by lower than "ringing" voltages.
