Sounds like the modem isn't installed properly. Does it appear in
control panel as the correct model? (There shouldn't be any errors in
diagnostics, but will be if the modem is mis-identified by Windows.)

Delete the current modem in Windows, reboot. Does it auto-detect? Is it
the correct modem being detected? If not, don't let it automatically
install. If he has a driver disk install from that.

I searched for that modem on the web, and found this:

One suggestion there was to set the init string to AT&F with hardware
flow control and error correction off. It sounds pretty clearly like an
init string issue.
