The i branch does not have support for Lucent based K56Flex modems - and is
therefore not K56Flex 1.1 compatible. To add this compatibility, the V.8bis
tone was added in the start of the negotiations (the short "beep"). That is
*required* to interoperate with Lucent (any non_Rockwell) K56 modems, so I'm
afraid that this is the correct sequence rather than what is in the current
"i" branch.

There is a slight modification to it in the latest 5.0Ap20 code compared to 
the 5.0Ap16 code - Rockwell called it the "V.8bis billing delay fix"....I
suspect the silent time has been shortened after the tone, before the normal
training sequence starts.
