Note that 6 hours later, when I discovered the modem still off-hook,
the Carrier Detect light was not on, but the "On hook" light was on.
I dropped DTR several times and the modem refused to hang up.  
I tried going "+++", but I was not expecting that to work, because I
have that disabled.  I had to physically switch the modem off!!!  I
NEED DTR to work properly, or at least I need the modem to HANG UP
if it fails to connect.  An ISP that I know (Matra) has reported the
same problem.  Oh, I am running with AT\V6 now, as you can tell from
the detailed stats.  The ISP says that when the problem happens for
them, and someone tries to ring, the line appears as not-answering,
as opposed to engaged.  I did not think to try this myself at the 
time.  Also, when I typed the "+++" etc to the modem, I did not take
careful note of the modem lights, but I *think* the TD light flashed
with the characters.

7. As you can see from the following log...
> 30 Mar 11:14:14.00   AT%L
# 30 Mar 11:14:14.03   050
After receiving an incoming call, the receive level is being printed
as -50db.  It is the same on EVERY incoming call.  As well as being
what I believe to be a wildly inaccurate number, I do not expect that
the levels would be exactly -50db on every single incoming call.
