Initialization Strings:
When using a US Robotics modem, I have found the best initialization strings are:
| Using Caller ID | AT&F1&N6S0=2#CID=1 | |
| Without Caller ID | AT&F1&N6S0=1 | |
| Error Correction Disabled* | AT&F1&M0&K0&N6S0=1 | |
| If you need to connect to older systems using TN1648 boards (2400 baud) you need to turn off error control (ARQ) by adding &M0 to the string like: AT&F1&N6&M0&K0S0=1 |
