Caveat: This advice is only good for Hayes-compatible modems.

You should go into Setup, select Modem Setup, and check your modem
init string (should be the top option on the screen). If your modem
init string doesn't have the command 'X4' in it, or has 'X0' or 'X1',
change it so it does (mine has it right before 'S11=55'). [useful tip:
once you select the modem init string to change, you can use the
cursor keys to slide the cursor over to where you want to change;
characters typed overwrite the characters on the line, but you can
press the <INS> key to make them insert instead]

The 'X4' command tells the modem to return all of the text strings
'BUSY', 'NO DIAL TONE', 'VOICE', 'CONNECT', 'CONNECT 1200', and
'CONNECT 2400', which Procomm+ uses to recognize connections or failed
connections.
