You could try upgrading the MWave software - the current version
is 2.22 (available from ftp.pc.ibm.com in the pcbbs/mobiles dir).
You could also try unplugging the phone cable from the computer
when this happens - if the tone goes away then it's the modem on
the other end doing it.  This has happened to me a couple times
calling USR modems but it was them doing it.  When it happens
retrying that could mean you got the same modem again on the
other end.
