Works now, after a while I figured out that it is mandatory to switch 
echo off (E0 in init string). I left the init string as it is in the 
original code and simply removed B1 due to my non-US dialtone.

Now I can check the performance ...

Thanks to all of you who helped out!

Best Regards,
Heiko
