IBM Modem to Macintosh Serial Port

I have a power Mac 7200 DOS compatible running
WIN95 on the DOS side and a Banksia Wave SP 336
Voice Fax Data Modem hooked to the Apple serial
port via an adaptor cable. The modem runs fine off the
Apple side, but I have been unable to get it to function
on the DOS side, which I need to do. When dialling in
to my service provider (manually, which is what they have recommended) using the DOS side, sometimes I can not even type into the dial screen at all, sometimes I can type in and everything works fine until I have entered my Login,
but then it won't ask me for my password. At one
point, it went all the way through the sequence and
connected to the server, but then just kept running a
long string of computer speak and wouldn't let me do
anything else. I have checked the login settings etc and
all seems to be OK. I have been told it's everything
from not sending carriage returns to needing a "high
speed handshaking adapter cable". Can you give me a clue which avenue is likely to bring results?
