Can you post the string you are sending now?

I'm not familiar with Compass, but a reasonable guess is that either
the response format is set wrong (numbers vs. text), or the manner in
which DTR is used is incorrect.
Obvious commands to try are ATV0Q0X1 which you can try out in
Hyperterminal, or (software of your choice).
Just be sure your Compass software doesn't overwrite your values or
ATZ the modem (reset).

Could also be an Echo problem, but I doubt it.  ATE0 or ATE1 should
rule out that possibility.

You can short pins 2 & 3 on the modem for a loopback test.  That will
at least rule out the modem's UART electronics as one possible
problem.
The Hayes Accura 336 is a very capable modem.  I'm sure it will do
what you want.  You just have to play with it to decipher the strings.

On the plus side, the Hayes command set is very well documented.
Shouldn't take too long to get it going..    Famous last words?

Good luck.
