Those look like the right parms, same as I have.   Did you also enable the
common/callerid.pl code?

This code is a bit different from other serial port code in that the serial
port is not opened until the user code is run, and by default there is not
errata saying it is opened.   If you run this:

 mh -debug phone

You should see something like this in your console:

05/24/03 06:53:55 PM Calling Serial_match_add_hook
Telephony_Interface port open:  n=line 1 t=default p=COM3 b=38400 h=dtr
 - creating line 1          object on port COM3
