Two things.  One, using PR#<slot> will not activate the terminal mode ability
of some serial interface cards.  If it even provides this feature, you should
use IN#<slot>.  However, the interrupts are non-existent in the firmware on
these boards, and connecting at 2400 bps will surely cause you to lose
characters even if you did connect.

I suggest getting a decent terminal program to complement your decent modem
choice (heck, you bought one of the top modems, why not invest in some good
terminal software?).
