Note that there's no such thing as a fully Hayes compatible modem!

Also note that in large part, your choice of RS232 interface is much more
important than your choice of modem. It sounds to me as if your interface is
inverting the carrier detect. Your modem may have a switch for inverting the
carrier detect signal. If so, use that. Otherwise, you will have to contact
the author of EBBS and tell him that he needs to make his BBS program more
programmable. It is inexcusable for any BBS program in this day and age to
leave the shop without provisions for dealing with inverted carriers.
