OK, since you are dumping to the hard drive you might as will use the Dump
Facility to grab the Trap Screen. It does a better job. See:

Before we go any further, does it trap everytime you redial? If so, you
need the dialer fix. Let me know and we can continue.

Basically you scan the kernel linear memory list for an address just below
the trap address. Use:

System -> Kernel -> System Aread Table

and scan the linear address column. Then RMB -> Describe on the address.
Sometimes it's informative. Sometimes it not.

HTH,
