Greetings, Netlanders!!

Could someone out there please advise me on the problem I am having?

Problem Statement: 
------------------
   I have an ATLAS 2400/1200/300 baud modem connected to my AT class 
   machine.  I am using Procomm 2.3 to communicate other systems.  I
   can't get Procomm to correctly execute the Hang-up command (ALT-H).
   When I issue it, the message "Disconnecting" appears, followed
   shortly by "Hangup failed".  The link remains intact.

   When I had an Avatex 1200 baud modem, Procomm would correctly execute 
   the Hang-up command (ALT-H).  Now, ordinarily, I would jump to the
   conclusion that the fault is in the modem.  However, it claims to be
   compatible with the Hayes command set.  Curiosity got the better of me 
   so I checked Procomm's Hangup string with what the modem's manual claims
   is the correct incantation (or at least, the right components).  
   Unfortunately, I still can't get the beastie boy to pay attention and 
   hang up the phone.

   I *AM* able to break the connection by exiting (ALT-X) Procomm, but I  
   would prefer the clean, prescribed mechanism (especially if I end up
   using a command file to do this automatically).  Can anyone out there
   help?

Questions:
    1.	Do I have a timing problem (1200 baud vs. 2400 baud)?  I.E.,
	do I need more characters in the command to the modem?  Does 
	anyone know the right incantation?  Any Atlas modem users out there?
    2.	Does this version of Procomm (it's older, I think) have a bug?
    3.	Is this modem *NOT* truly "Hayes Compatible"?

Your help is appreciated.

George
