- Incorrect.
-
- Call the number below, log in, and send three 128s in a row. Nothing will
- happen on this end. You will simply have sent three 128s.

- The escape character is set to 128 on all my modems. None is a Hayes.
- 128 and above means >disabled< on all my modems, ergo, none will return to
- command mode.
