I am trying to use the HyperCard phone stack and my Hayes modem (Practical
Peripherals 1200SA Mini) to dial numbers for voice communication.  I have not
been successful in making it dial the complete number.  No matter what I do
it seems to only get out the first few digits of the number and then goes
offline (hangs up).  I have tried going into the phone stack script to modify
the commands sent to the modem and nothing seems to work.  I have tried
pauses, slowing down the dial rate and numerous other things.  Nothing works!

Also, I have issued the "dial witm modem" command directly from the HyperCard
message window and get the same result.

The modem dials correctly if I issue the commands from the communication
software packages of Works or Versaterm.

Is there any one out there that has had this problem?   Is it possible the
BAUD rate from the Mac to the Modem is wrong?  If so how do I change it?  I
have been told by a few individuals the Baud rate between the Mac and the
RS232 port on the modem does not matter.  Is this true? I cannot find any
reference in the Mac manuals or other books about Hypercard that even talks
about setting up the parameters of the modem port.

Any help would be appreciated.
