ProTERM 3.1 can handle V.32bis compression just fine.

Why one modem works and the other does not is because
ProTERM does not recognize the connect MESSAGE
of some modems.

Since it does not understand the connect message, it
continues counting down.

Do this: listen to the modem.  Listen to it handshake,
then connect, then fall silent.  Give it 7 to 10 additional
seconds after falling silent.

Finally, hit escape twice, then press Option-T to go
into terminal mode and hit Return.

Surprise, you are logged on.  ;-)

Good luck!
