Sorry John, but &K3 *dis*ables MNP error correction. Preferrable to leave
it &K1 for their choice. Although when I dial out I suggest &K3, but Arnaud
here gave me some insight on when/why MNP may be better. To disable v.42bis
takes some S register settings.

The Q2 is fine for the display of result codes in originate mode only and I
have used this on all modems. Unless someday the PM wants to listen for
RING to be sent. 8-)
