And a nice morning to you Spaceman Rick. 
 RC> (and this is what Gene was sugesting) is: 
 RC> 1) configure the modem with a factory profile (AT&F1) 
 RC> 2) make any changes you want (AT S11=40) 
 RC> 3) save the configuration (AT&W) 
       You blew my balloon! I thought that I had found a chink in Gene's
armour.  :-)  &  (-: 
       I thought that he meant from a brand new modem. Are not the ATFs 
then the default profiles ? Thus, doing the ATF1 and ATW would not 
change much. And this is what I thought was the chink. Of course, after 
a few writes to a modem, if you want to start anew, nothing beats the 
F1 profile. We are on the same frequency !
