AT&W says to write the current settings to non-volatile ram so that
they will become the power-up defaults. On a US Robotics modem,
&K0 disables data compression which you wouldn't normally want to do.

Unless you have to change modem settings for different services, I
think putting your settings in the power-up defaults is the best
way to go. You can never be sure your modem init string will be
sent everytime the modem gets powered down and up, or an ATZ is
entered or you run a different terminal program.

Put everything you can into the power-up defaults and then only vary
what is unique to a particular program or service.
