I worked in UNIX async communications software for 6 years for a company
whose product beat out UUCP as "most popular UNIX communications software"

There are only 4 modems I know of that do this, and all but one of them is
no longer manufactured (and two of them were from Radio Shack and could
not handle binary transfers anyway).

I think you have a configuration problem unrelated to the d3 setting,
possibly hardware.
