- <COMMENT>
- Finally I see somebody that knows something about INIT Strings.
- All above is absolutely correct.
- The only addition I would add is the S10 Register.
- It is set for only 7 tenths of a second that the modem will wait after
- loss of carrier before hanging up.
- By setting it S10=20 with an &W to set it to NVRAM you will get a full
- two second before the modem hangs up. This helps sometimes with line hits
- that normally might knock you off line.
