I have noticed that the Hayes modem does not raise Data Set Ready until it gets answer tone from the remote modem. The Teletype terminal will not receive data from the modem unless Data Set Ready is raised. This means that I can call out using the keyboard, but I get no echo from the modem and I get no call progress messages from the modem. Once the connection is made, everything works normally. I have not found anything in the Hayes manual for setting the modem so that Data Set Ready follows Data Terminal Ready or any other solution. I am strapping Data Set Ready high on the terminal side. This problem doesn't occur on the HP 2621 terminal. What would happen if a terminal needed Data Set Ready for transmission? Another problem I have noticed is using the Hayes to call into our computer. The computer is using AT&T modems. About three out of four times I call in, after I get the "Connect 1200" message (no 2400 bps modems on the other end) I get a line of garbage on the screen. The computer times out and disconnects the call. Anyone else notice this problem?
