Fraid not Dave. If you change the port speed after you have set it like
that, and just send AT to the modem, and you get a RING, IT WILL BE SENT
AT THE CURRENT PORT SPEED, NOT THE ONE SHOWN IN THE ATI5 RESPONSE.

Soorree.

DD> Different = fucked?

Different to what all the other modem manufacturers
do, for no good reason at all, and not documented
that ONLY the ATZ command is like that, yes, fucked.
