[comp.sys.att] Modem Troubles

[ Sorry if this appears twice in c.s.att, I originally posted also to         
  comp.sys.sun and         our Pnews to moderated groups trashes 
  the posting to other groups in the newsgroups line. ]

We use AT&T-4024 2400 baud modems on our Sun3/260's and Sun4/390.
On SUNOS3.5 we had no trouble using these modems in the AT
command mode.  The same configuration under SUNOS4.03 no longer
works.  As soon as the remote modem picks up, the local modem
drops everything and hangs up.

Another modem problem we have, regardless of modem vendor, is that
upon disconnecting from a tip session, and preparing to issue a
tilde-dot to return to the shell we get:

write: No such device or address
                                 write: No such device or address

this happens when any character is typed.  We need to madly type ~.
about 100 times to get tip to quit.

Any help with either problem is greatly appreciated!  Thanks
