No surprise.  The Hayes was never designed to do that.

Good.  Everyone should upgrade.  Nice package.

Yes, the AT&T Unix System Support Center in Lisle have got a Hayes modem
to work "right" (i.e. either direction without re-config).  As the Hayes
was not designed to operate in this manner, it necessitated a kluge of
moderate proportions.  Their phone number is (800) 222-9333.  They would
be happy to sign you up for a support contract.  The easier / recomended
approach is to purchase a modem that is capable of operating the way you
want without kluging something up.  My favorite is the AT&T 2224B 300/1200/2400
bps modem.  The 300/1200 bps ACU/modem for the 3B2 manufactured by Penril
is satisfactory, as well.  I have been using the Penril for several months
with no problems.  I now have 2 2224Bs on order (after checking them out).
Good luck.
