This was discussed at length a while ago.  The problem is that the Hayes
compatible modems do not handle CD and DTR properly, so that you
cannot get a 3b2 to dial out AND have the hayes drop and raise CD
properly for dial-in.  There are modems that work with the 3b2, and
there is a hardware hack to make the hayes work.
