Why not attach to the modem, configure it, save settings to NVRAM
(AT&W) and program the modem to reset on DTR drop (e.g. ATS13=1 with
USR Courier).
The PM drops DTR to end connections or to reset modems. Forget the
modem table. Do it the DTR way - and the modems gets initialized to
your programmed settings after each call. Works like a charm...
