Turn off result codes.

ATZ
ATQ1&W

Also set the modem to do a reset on DTR transition.  Then if you need to 
dial out, you can use "ATQ0" in your dial string to force the modem to 
provide result codes for the dialer program.

No modem I have ever seen works out of the box correctly with a UNIX host
for both in- and outdial applications.
