Dennis, the modem I have 90% of my Hayes (says so on the box..) experience
is on a Hayes 2400.  The problems you and other people seem to be having
are, I'm pretty sure, caused by having the modem in a non-compatable
configuration.  The 2400 has many many options.  After having mine for
over a year, I can honestly say I don't know of a single thing that
will work on a 1200 that wouldn't work on the 2400 I had.

  The Hayes 2400 has internal long-term memory that can be used to hold
an alternate default configuration.  There is a command (I don't remember
what) to store the current configuration to the long term memory.  I would
hightly recommend you go thru the manual (yeah, I know it's big, but trust
me...) and find what options need to be changed and then change them.
  It -is- possible to get these things to behave.

  My "nonsense" comment still stands.  If you haven't configured your
modem to be compatable, it's only because you haven't looked far enough.
