I seem to recall a discussion some time ago about problems encountered
when using a Hayes modem with a 3b2 computer.  Is that right, or am I
confused?

Well, I am having a problem with a Hayes modem/3b2 combination.  It
appears that I can either have the modem answer incoming calls or have
the computer initiate outbound calls, but not both.

Can anyone tell me if there is an appropriate set of switch settings for
the Hayes that will allow both incoming and outgoing calls to be handled?
Is there anything besides changing switch settings that can be done to 
fix the problem?  What about making a new cable with some pins strapped?

Also, would someone be kind enough to mail me a summary of the problems that
were discussed concerning Hayes modems used with 3b2 computers - and their
resolution?

THANKS IN ADVANCE,
