Depends; USR is also here miles ahead of the competition:
Y0 = Default is profile 0 setting in NVRAM
Y1 = Default is profile 1 setting in NVRAM
DIP Switches:
7 OFF Loads Y0 or Y1 configuration from NVRAM
7 ON  Loads &F0 - Generic template (not recommended)
Note:
&F0     This template does not include performance features, such as a
        fixed serial port rate or hardware flow control.  What it does
        offer is compatibility with nontypical computers or software that
        cannot handle flow control and other features.
&F1     Default.  This template sets the modem to hardware flow control,
        a fixed serial port rate, the highest level result codes, and
        the most complete result-code set. The &F1 Hardware Flow Control
        template is recommended for all IBM-compatible computers, as long
        as your communications software supports hardware flow control, a
        fixed serial port rate, and the advanced result-code subset.
&F2     This is a software flow control template.  We recommend you
        do not use software flow control, and thus, this template.
        However, if you use a Macintosh, see the note above.  In
        addition, some computers are limited to three-wire cables that
        do not support hardware flow control signals.  If this is the
        case, review the warning on software flow control later in this
        guide.
As a comparison, the SUPRA member of the Rockwell crowd uses:
&F0     Error control and data compression disabled; software f.c.
&F1     MacIntosh error correction/data compression
&F2     This is the equivalent to USR's &F1 with full V.42/MNP
        and hardware handshaking
