Turn on all messaging within the modem init string.  Depending on the 
modem atx7, at&Q and at&N may nned top be set to have the modem return 
all information.  Here is what my courier returns:

Jan 30 08:05:13 zotnet chat[8902]: expect (ogin:)
Jan 30 08:05:13 zotnet chat[8902]:  26400/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS^M

This lets me know the speed, Auto Reliable Mode, V34, LAPM is an error 
checking ptorocol, and V42bis is compression.

I could get even more info (carrier, and other stuff) if I needed.

also on the courier I can send ati6 after the call and it reports all 
the stats for the call, see if you can too.

And then try calling several different places to check the other ends.

Oh, what carrier speed are you running at?  If you talk tot he modem at 
19200 and connect at 26400 (tricky but possible) things do get wierd..
