Yep.  It definatly supports Sync.  I could understand if it couldn't 
connect after it dials out that this might be the problem.  Without the TR 
light the modem won't dial out.  Seems to me I need to get it to dial first.

I wish I did have another known good modem to test with.  That's always 
a favorate way of mine to isolate a problem when I can.
