I've removed the string from my setup. I've had no problems with v.34
connects after using this string but for some reason it causes my
Courier to behave very strangely with a v.FC modem at the Sydney PCUG
BBS.

The ARQ light flashes or even turns off, and nothing gets transmitted or
received. After removing the string, connects with this particular modem
are OK even though it's one level slower (i.e. 21.6 instead of 24.0k).
