I have Hayes 2400 modems and at times I get screenfulls of 'w's until I
hit the break or, more often than not, power it down.  The Hayes 2400
does seem to have a lot a problems.  When dialing into the Hayes 2400
from another hayes 2400, I sometimes get 'CONNECT 1200' instead of 2400
and other times I hear the modem screaming and yelling but get only junk
characters on my terminal.  The connect failure rate on this modem seems
too high for a modem that costs so much.  I need at least 2 calls to
another 2400 site before I get a good connection.

Anyone else experienced these problems with 2400 baud modems?
