On their website they list an init string for their modems of
AT&F&C1&D2&K3W1

If you want to check out their "tech support" which consists of a series
of FAQ's that are geared specificially towards users and not people who
are supporting the product, the modem section is
http://www.e4me.com/techsupport/faq.html#modem

Interestingly enough, in this FAQ they claim that "When the UART speed of
8250 is reported, this is erroneous." Aparently they use a virtual UART,
so we now have a modem that not only farms off the processing of signals,
it also doesn't even have a real 16550 UART.

I have dealt with 5 users of emachines, and to the best of my knowledge we
have not lost any of them, however it was a while ago and I can't remember
exactly what worked. I do believe that this was part of it however

N0S37=13 for K56Flex or N0S37=12 for V.34
