"^"! That was what I needed, thanks.

However, NOW I see what the hubbub is: Even when I do the above (actually,
this last time I left out the 57600) and power off the modems, when I power
them on, something which looks like a reset happens, but if I dial in, the
DTE speed is still wrong...which is what I remember others complaining
about.

However, now that I have the correct send-expect string (thanks, Sameer!),
when I do a reset on the modem ports, THEN the modems get reset to the
correct speed.

One problem: What happens if there's a power outage and ALL these modems
revert their DTE speeds back to 28800? When they power up, they're wrong,
and I have to be able to get in to do the reset (yes, I actually do have a
way to do that, HOWever... It shouldn't IMHO be necessary).

How do I get the PM to reset the modem automatically when the modem powers
up? Was there ever a consensus on this? I remember all the discussion,
and now regret that I didn't pay better attention.
