As usual, I finally give up and ask for help and, within one hour solve 
the problem on my own.

The solution?  I changed this:
RingsBeforeAnswer:    1
DRingOn:    DRON=
DRingOff:    DROF=
ModemResetCmds:    AT+VDR=1,6
DistinctiveRings:    F-5-4-10-5-5,F-5-4-10-5-4,V-18
RingFax: DRON=5
RingVoice: DRON=18
NoAnswerVoice:    true
ModemAnswerCmd:        AT+FCLASS=1;A

... to this...
RingsBeforeAnswer:    1
ModemResetCmds:    AT+VDR=1,2
RingFax: DRON=5
RingVoice: DRON=18
NoAnswerVoice:    true
ModemAnswerCmd:        AT+FCLASS=1;A

Regards,
   Dennis
