I have a XT clone (Panasonic) with a VGA card and monitor, along with a 
2400 baud modem.  There seems to be a big problem using the modem with
pulse dialing.  When the dialing starts, the screen is filled with blocks
of different colors, and no characters.  The connection works fine, as I
am using the modem to post this, but I have to go to DOS shell (using TELIX)
and do a mode co80 to clear the video mess on the screen.  Does anyone know what
the interfernece problem might be.  I can' figure out what the conflict is here.
Note:  this problem doesn't seem to happen in tone, but unfortunately, this
phone system does not support tone dialing. :(

Please e-mail any respones, unless it would be of general interest.  Thanx.
