My point is this though. For my older modems, I would do the
folowing:
set s(#) modem usr-v34 <enter>
reset s(#) <enter>
save all <enter>

and they work great. Now that is not the case, so I must disagree
'bout the ComOS issue. Oh well....

Does anyone then know the default init for the newer Sportsters? I'll
be happy to try it. P.S. how do you force the PM to issue the init
every time? I've never done anything but the above...
