Allowing a modem escape to exist on the dial-in modem is inviting
some hangs. Any user who tries to disconnect from a connection by giving
the modem escape sequence in a Unix shell environment is going to have the
escape echoed by Unix back to the dialin modem as well as having it
captured by the dialout modem. This will hang the Unix dialin modem, as
there is no further way of "talking" to it at that point.
The escape sequence should be disabled on any dialin modem. It is only of
value to a dialout modem, if at all.
