That's not correct, Jean. "+++" is the default escape code, not xoff.
The problem may appear when you are connected to another modem and want
to go to command mode. For that you have to send the escape code to the
local modem, but some remote modems also understand the "+++" as an
escape code and also go into command mode. When you come back with the
ATO command, the remote modem remains in command mode and the connection
is "frozen". It's possible that those modems would come back from
command mode if you send another ATO, but I've never tried it. That's
why I changed the escape character to "@" in my Sportster and suggested
you to do the same.
