So you see legible text from the other side -- login prompt, etc? And you

This usually means something happened outside of your PC: the phone

If the first 15-20 seconds of the session are good, then it's not a speed

:
If you get no response from the modem at 9600, this could mean it has its
baud rate fixed at a certain speed and "autobaud" (automatic speed
recognition) has been disabled. Check your modem manual for command
(usually something like N0 or N1) to enable all speeds and protocols and
negotiate the highest common one.
: One last thing, when I connect directly to the modem and manually dial,

:
And how do you dial manually? Do you give any configuration commands? Are
they different from the ones Kermit or TAPI give? In that case, just use
SET MODEM COMMAND to tell K95 to use the same commands you use when you dial
manually.
In any case, the finger points rather emphatically at the configuration of
the modem on the other end of this connection. As you know, modern modems
have lots of configuration options, many of them designed to get around
bugs, limitations, or misconfugration in the modems they are connecting
with. Adjust your own modem as needed, and see if you can get the owner of
the other modem to check its configuration.
