The problem you describe with the PB200 not recognizing a carrier when
calling out is a faithful reproduction of a bug in the Hayes 2400.  If
the X option is set to recognize busy signals then the modem will not
respond to a carrier unless it hears a RING first.  Note that if neither
end times out they will connect after 30 or 40 seconds.
