I just connected to our Telebit T2500 from a Microcom QX/V.32c with no
problem whatsoever.  I'm running the 1.5 revision of the EPROMS too.

A possible problem might be that you have result codes set on on
the receiving modem, which on our machines would sometimes make the modem
hang up because getty would echo the CONNECT message before the modem
had totally switched from command mode, and cause the hang up.
This may not be the problem, but I know that I have connected many times
between the two modems that you have had problems with.

If you contact me, you can try calling up my Telebit and/or Microcom from
your Telebit and or Microcom.

I'm running these modems off of an RT PC running 4.3 BSD UNIX.
