I also ran into the same problem when using my Hayes 2400 to call a 1200 baud
board. All I got was garbage. If I set the modem at 1200 baud *before* 
initiating the call, everything was fine. One just could not call a 1200 baud
board with their modem starting out at 2400. I've also seen the instance when
using noisy lines a 2400 baud US Robotics falls back to 1200 and the Hayes
tries to connect with it at 1200 and again it's garbage. I suspect the Hayes
is falling back to 1200 CCITT rather than 1200 Bell 2.12a. (But that's a
guess.)
