Back in the Old Days, I'd sometimes have callers open up a terminal (This was Win95/98 where there was a way to talk directly to the modem before dialing.) and query the modem directly to make sure it was working, and check some of its abilities. (You might be surprised to learn how many people simply assumed that their modem was 56K and wondered why it couldn't connect because it was only 28.8 or lower.) Alas, I've long forgotten the exact commands used, but here's what claims to be a complete list: http://michaelgellis.tripod.com/modem.html although I don't see the command to give the max speed. (Maybe AT by itself?) If you try this and get no response, try this:

ATE1

And, if you get OK, try again. I'm not sure this is what you need, but it may point you in the right direction and it's one of those old-time things that shouldn't be completely forgotten as long as computers have modems, even if only for faxing. (Yes, even fax modems respond to this.)
