Never having tried it - I still have a few comments.
The DMF32 only has modem control for the first two ports. If you use it with
a modem on the rest of the ports there's no way for the system to determine
that a hangup has taken place. Huge security hole..
The second problem is a "feature" of the DMF's modem control ports - if 
the CD signal isn't asserted, they drop incoming characters on the floor.
You can send "AT" to wake the modem, but the response gets eaten.
There is a command that can be used to tell the Hayes to assert carrier when
the autodialer is in operation; not having a Hayes manual, I can't tell
you offhand what it is - but that may be all you need to know to find it.
