AT&F1M0Q2&M5S0=1S2=255S13=1&W&W1
Q2=show results when originating
&M5=lock ARQ
S2=escpae char > 128 disables
S13=reset on DTR drop

One thing to note is I found that using the modem table to just initalize
the modems *seems* to work better. A 'set al mo usr' and then 'res all'
with a check on each port to see if it configured properly. After that I
'set al mo' to clear the entries.

Backwards, the default is 7 for .7 seconds. Now that the ability to track
each port for Session Termination reasons is in place, on a statisical basis
I can find out increasing S10 to about 30 will help any. Otherwise my
thought are if CD is lost for .7 seconds, the line is bad and another call
may give a better virtual circuit (in the case of some local CSO's, not very
likely).

Plan to try it and see what happens for next week after the log rolls on
Friday night/Saturday morning.
