Sounds like you have a flow control problem.  If any characters are sent to
the modem before "CONNECT" occurs, the modem will hang up.  This is similar
to when you dial out using "ATD" and hit return before you get "CONNECT".
On T2500 you can disable this "feature", on the Hayes you'll probably need
to get the flow control working properly (hardware (CTS) is best).

Your computer is probably sending repeated XON's (not real sure about this
one).  I'm not real familar with System V (we use Ultrix here), maybe
someone can help you get hardware flow control running.
