It's trying to get a real connection. You might try to back it down to
either 14.4 or 9.6 (see comments below).

You are experiencing the joys of trying to do digital connectivity over
analog media. The telecommunications infrastructure is such that it's
difficult to get a 28.8 connection when you are *local* to the remote
end. When you are remote, especially internationally, it's virtually
impossible. Hopefully, the modem negotiation helps you back off as
needed, but this doesn't always work. Hence, my suggestion above to
manually back it off.
OK?
