It's been discussed on the list before about NOT doing that... here's why.

the &W usually writes the current setup/init to the NVRAM of the modem. If
you are using this as your init string EVERY time, that means that you
could have written it up to NVRAM in a standard day easily 20 times. NVRAM
can be written only so many times before it stops functioning. I would
advise _against_ adding this to an init string.
