The modems work very well, except for one small problem. We have quite a few old-style Hayes Smartmodem 1200's (the one's with only one phone jack in the back, and a volume knob) that will be dialing into the ARKs. These older hayes modems do not seem to recognize the valid carrier tone on the ARK, when the ARK is set to autobaud down to 1200 baud. Newer Hayes 1200 modems WILL work properly with the ARKs, and the old-style Hayes will work with other 2400 baud modems (such as the Hayes 2400s) on the VAX end. Has anyone ever encountered a similar situation? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...
