We have an office that dials out from a Xenix box to 16 PC's, with Hayes
2400 V-Series on both ends, and it works just fine.

When I take one of those V-series, and use is to dial up sites that
have 2400 baud modems ( some hayes, but none of them V-Series ) i get
unreliable connections ie half the time the modem returns no carrier
and drops the line, even though I can hear the answering modem tones.


Has anyone else had problems dialing from a V-Series to another 
brand/designation of modem?  Is there a fix?
