 Something more: Hayes may be a standard but especially some old modems are very
slow and have weird dependings on commands. EG on my old Best 9600EC the command
AT&FH0E1 is processed like following: &F resets factory settings and aborts
further processing. So H0 and E1 are dropped. Reseting takes around two seconds,
all communications in this timeframe is discarted so sending ATD1234 does no
good at all. My personal two cents:

ALWAYS insert a short chatscript-delay before an AT-Commands with \d. Or at
least offer one fast and one secure chatscript.

Split Commands to several lines. Especially with atz and at&f and at&w and some
other lowlevel-stuff.

Also old modems have rather low speeds on their V.24/RS232-interfaces. My Best
again chokes beyond 38400bps. I haven't found any solution to change the speed
in network-admin.

In an ideal world network-admin would offer one additional config-page for
fiddling around the chatscript/modem-commands/RS232-speed yourself, it took me a
odyssey to find out who actually does the chatting and now I'll try my luck with
a hand-made network.pl.
