I'm having a lot of problems with a VaxStation 3100 dialing
using a fairly new modem, and (I believe) ckermit 192.

If I set the port (TTA2:) as 'set term tta2:/perm/nomodem',
the modem will refuse to talk to me. It will echo characters,
but completely ignores them.

If I set the port to 'set term tta2:/perm/modem', then it
will talk to me, and accept commands, until I try to dail
out.  It then will let the phone ring once, and then dies
with a 'no carrier' error. If I set 'set carrier off' then
it gives me a 'disconnected' error at that point.

No matter what options I've tried, I can only rarely get it
to actually connect to an outside system. I can't find any
settings on the modems I've tried to fix the carrier (Recent
USR robotics 56K modem), and it appears that the modem is
just randomally flashing the carrier signal and confusding
everything.

Anyone know of a setting on these modems to fix the modem
so that it will talk without setting the port to '/modem',
or a setting on the VAX so it doesn't hang up the modem
in the middle of a call?
