	I just purchased Apple's _Access_ terminal program for my //gs
on the recommendation of a heretofore-reliable dealer, and one of the
following seems to be true:
      - I am missing something important
      - The //gs version is buggy/needs the new ROM I don't have yet
      - The program stinks

	I am trying to talk to my Courier 2400 (Hayes superset) modem,
which works fine on my Mac, and every time I try to use the autodial
features my system hangs.  If I try the "dial on an Apple modem"
setting, I am unsurprised by the message indicating the modem is not
responding to Apple's protocol; if I try the "enter the dialing macro"
option, with the Hayes command "ATDT*70,123-4567", the system hangs
for about 2 minutes, then makes a funny sound and hangs for good.  The
only way out is to reset, which puts me in the old monitor with a
double beep and the data bank set to something like 4C.

	If I give up on autodialing and just type in the command in
terminal mode, it works fine.  (Thank goodness the Courier has some
automatic-redialing features built in...)

	This behavior occurs at both 2400 and 1200 baud.

	Can anyone suggest what is wrong?
