- Usually, nothing, because of the guard time. Usually, other data is sent

- this message have text before and after them. Also, the +++ only puts it
- in command mode if it comes from *your side*, not from the remote modem.
- The reason you can put the other end's modems in command mode is because
- it is echoing what you type back to you.

- Yes, this would make sense, but it usually isn't done. You can usually
- put the modem in a mode where sending a break will put it in command mode,
- without the break being propagated to the other side, and without hanging
- up.
