I see the same problem on a HP nx6120 laptop I was setting up for my
parents at the weekend.
I listened to it dial from another phone this morning, and the system at
the other end picked up OK and they tried and failed to negotiate.
Using the same parameters with a pcmcia modem worked fine.
So, you aren't alone, but I can't offer a solution to the problem :-(
