your hayes compat modem should do nicely with a different value for
reg S0. right now it's set to 1, you could disable auto-answer by
setting it to 0, or increase the number of rings by setting it
accordingly.

somewhere there is a modem init string you need a: S0=<some number>.

or, on-the-fly (in seyon or something) you can do a AT S0=4 (for 4
rings); ATS0=0 (to turn it off); etc.....
