Under MacOS 9, the Modem control panel lets you choose from a list of
modem types. One of them is "Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.90)", which is
the usual one. But there's also "Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.34)", which
would probably do what you want. It worked that way for me when I had
connection problems while traveling.

I haven't yet made the step to OS X (we're a multiple-Mac family with lots
of inertia), so I can't point to the corresponding configuration change
there, but maybe this will be enough of a hint for you to find what you're
looking for.
