If your modem comes with it own built-in modem commands (likely since
yours is a Hayes) that you can issue in the terminal screen,
you don't need to worry about whether a teminal program specifically
supports your modem. This commands starts with "AT". For example
 
ATP  --->  To set it to dial in pulse
ATD(number)  --->  To dial the (number) and connect
ATD  --->  To just connect, for example you dialed mannually and
           you want to connect.
 
Consult your mannual for full commands description.
 
 
In regards to a good terminal program with pulse dialing....
Desterm 2.0 supports pulse dialing, and it is a very good terminal prg too.
