I'm assuming that a 3Com NBX is a small PBC system of some type.

Does the called modem answer? Do they do the song of modems mating
and go silent?

Make sure your modem settings are for RTS/CTS/DTR normal, and try adding
the following to your config:

The async interface commands will allow routing protocols and set the
interface as a dedicated interface port as opposed to interactive access
to the router itself.

The aux line commands should allow the router to sense the carrier detect
and RTS/CTS modem lines to detect that the modem has answered and negotiated
a connection. As the best you'll do with analog modems is 33.6K async, the
hardware flow control is also needed with you4 38400 speed to prevent
overrunning the modem buffer during data transfer.

interface Async1
 async dynamic routing
 async mode dedicated

line aux 0
 no exec
 flowcontrol hardware
