The original ordering was for symmetry.  On the incoming side you have
attempts that failed  due to hardware/interface issues (ringNoAnswer),
then other failures to train, and the rest are completions.  On the
outgoing side you have attempts that failed due to hardware/interface
issues (UnsuccessefullDialAttempts), then other failures to train, and
the rest are completions.

On another note, Jim Barnes sent me email suggesting that I spell
UnsuccessefullDialAttempts correctly, and further suggested that it be
renamed to mdmStatsFailedDialAttempts.  I agree.  Our current state
would then be:

    mdmStatsRingNoAnswers                   Counter32,
    mdmStatsIncomingConnectionFailures      Counter32,
    mdmStatsIncomingConnectionCompletions   Counter32,
    mdmStatsFailedDialAttempts              Counter32,
    mdmStatsOutgoingConnectionFailures      Counter32,
    mdmStatsOutgoingConnectionCompletions   Counter32,
    mdmStatsRetrains                        Counter32,
