outbound calls with FrontDoor and ifmail-2.8e

I recently installed ifmail-2.8e on FreeBSD-2.1.5. I am having
trouble getting outbound calls to FrontDoor and MainDoor systems
to work. No problems calling BinkleyTerm systems, and receiving
calls from MainDoor (not sure about FrontDoor) works. I have tried
disabling EMSI and/or WaZOO, with no luck. What happens when I
try calling is that ifcico simply doesn't detect that there is a
mailer on the other end. This is happening with multiple systems,
so I don't think it is their end. I am using the port locked at
115200, but I also tried dropping it down to 38400 incase it was
dropping characters. ifcicio seems to be receiving an EMSI_REQ,
but not acting on it. My last working setup was using ifmail-2.8
on Linux. Anyone seen this problem before?

I intend to take a deeper look at it myself, but haven't got a chance
yet.
