Are you using a 92219Q cable between the patch panel and the modem?
This cable has unusual pinouts, necessary to change what is normally a
DCE connection at the panel into a full DTE connection at the modem.

The Hayes 2400 is not "Hayes Compatible".  This is no joke.  The 2400
does not have switches, and the command set was "improved" from the 1200.
The 2400 baud modem we suggest for use on the Series 500 is the U.S.
Robotics Courier 2400, which IS Hayes compatible.  Nonetheless...

I am told that the Hayes 2400 can be made to work with the HP-UX dialit.c
routine, if some changes are made.  I am mailing you a copy of those changes.

One of the systems I manage is a Series 500 system with modems on it.  Here
are the relevant sample details of that configuration.  Some of this is
sloppy, but this system is little used and about to be shut down.
