Hayes does handle CD and DTR properly, if it is programmed correctly.
The following strign is the correct setup for SCO Xenix V.  I assume
that it will work with most others as well.

ATS0=1D2E0Q1S1=1&W

Leave off the S1=1 and S0=1 if you don't want it to answer.

I have found that if you can not communicate with the modem, you can not
program it.  You may have to program it elsewhere and install it.  But it
will/does work correctly on 3B2s.
