That's what the resulting errors usually looked like here, also.  I 
also noticed that given an unfortunate set of occurrances, the modem 
would lock up ("wedged" modem), and I would have to reboot the machine 
in order to get the modem functional.  Simply unloading+reloading the 
rocket module didn't seem to always help.  I strongly suspect that 
disabling V.17 would prevent the errors from occurring.  That can be 
done (in 4.2.0) by placing these in your modem config file:

Class1TMQueryCmd: "!3,24,48,96"
Class1RMQueryCmd: "!3,24,48,96"

Although admittedly that's quite a shame to have to do that.

I ended up adding an external modem to the system and putting the main 
fax line into that modem.  The other lines get rarely used and still go 
into the RocketModem III.  Usually ECM is able to work through the V.17 
problem, but sometimes I still have to reboot.

Well, I won't mention how long I've been "patiently" waiting.  I did 
recently get some new firmware from Comtrol to test, but it didn't seem 
to help any.  I'm in the process of replacing the RocketModem III with 
a RocketModem II as I've given up hope of a fix anytime soon.
