Re: problem with Motorola ModemSURFR modem

I did some more experimenting.  This does not work.  For one thing, 0
isn't a legitimate thing to waitfor.  I ended up using OTHER in its
place.  For another, it would be good to flush any pending stuff, so I
tried:

	"<flush>ATZ\n<waitfor:OTHER>"

This didn't work because HylaFAX added an AT at the front; the modem
whistles at me when it gets a command "ATATZ\r".  I don't understand
the HylaFAX rules for AT.  I changed over to:

	"AT<flush>Z\n<waitfor:OTHER>"

This started to work, I think, but the modem got:

	"ATZ\rE0V1Q0S0=0H0

In other words, HylaFAX decided not to emit the AT for the commands
after the atz.  I really don't understand the HylaFAX rules for AT!
I ended up using 

	"AT<flush>Z\n<waitfor:OTHER>AT"

which seems pretty fishy.  What is the right way to do this?
