AppleTalk Remote Access: CNG Modem CCL Scripts

I'm trying to connect to an AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA) Server 2.x with my PowerBook Duo and Express Modem using Telecomm 2.0 software.

The Remote Access Status Window shows I'm communicating at 14.4 kbps, but then gives me the following error message, "The connection attempt has failed. The modems did not connect properly. Please try again." ARA worked fine with my other PowerBook Duo with an Express Modem using the same password, user name, and software.

I have tried a clean install of the Operating System, Express Modem, and ARA software but it still does not work. What is wrong?
Check your Remote Access Setup control panel to see which ARA CCL script you are using. Sometimes if the modem you are connecting to does not support CNG signals, and you have selected the Express Modem 2.x/CNG in the Access Setup control panel, it will give you this type of error. Simply using the script Express Modem 2.x instead will let you connect.

So what is CNG
When you use the CNG scripts, the Express Modem will transmits data calling tones after dialing. Data calling tones allow the remote machine to detect automatically that an incoming call is a data modem instead of a FAX or Voice call, so the call can be routed to the appropriate software supporting the service.
