Subject: WorldBlazer can't dial in to my Sportster

I recently purchased a USR Sportster 28.8 external modem.  This is one of
the new models with the 33.6K speeds.  I bought this to replace an old
ZyXEL U-1496E on my Linux system.  I use the modem for dialing in and
out, both interactive logins and UUCP (I also use SLIP and PPP).  I'm
having a problem with one of my UUCP feeds that has a Telebit WorldBlazer
modem.  I can dial in to the WorldBlazer with the Sportster without any
problems, but the WorldBlazer can't dial in to the Sportster.  PEP on the
WorldBlazer is disabled when dialing in to my system, so that shouldn't
be causing any problems, and error correction and compression is also
disabled.  The Sportster is configured to accept connections even if
error correction and/or compression are disabled, and I've verified this
by using the ZyXEL to dial in to the Sportster after disabling EC and C
(I used AT&K0 on the ZyXEL).  Any suggestions?
