Has he tried using ttypatch to set the modem control value?  Not all
Hayes compatable modems are.

This is a known bug in 2.2 - it has been fixed in 3.0 ( I don't know 
much about it, just that *some* machines have problems)

The tput init should really have fixed that - I'll have to look into that.
