I found that these POTS-based video conferencing systems were very, very sensitive to line noise. This caused the high-speed modems to either drop carrier (ending the connection) or they wouldn't connect at high speeds, which defeats their purpose in a video-conf system. Can you get a reliable 28.8 kbps connection with an ordinary modem between your two locations? If not, there's little chance a video-conf modem is going to work.
