I always thought the REAL solution to this problem (the one I recommend to
any one that asks) is to just buy Penril (non Hayes compat) modems or
Penril dialers that work just fine. Also Rixons work well too, but Hayes
are a pain in the A%! to deal with on a UNIX box! And bidirectional Datakit
ports are just about as pleasent!
