  We are talking about a analog modem correct??
  
  If so then change your init string to atx1d.t
  
  I've never messed with NT but I would think it has a section where you 
  can add "advanced settings" to your modem setup ( 95 does atleast) if so 
  then just add put x1 in there (or maybe atx1).
