Well, if you have a V.FC, you start using ATFx commands, or high S37
values. I've included a table of them below. If you have a V.34, you can
use AT+MS.

(These tables are from the Supra V.FC and V.34 command listings respectively.)

         F0     AutoMode Selection (Same as N1)
         F1     300 bps only (Same as N0S37=1,uses protocol in Bn setting
                        S31 bit 1 set to 0 and S37=1)
         F2     Undefined
         F3     v.23 only 75TX/1200RX (originate) or 1200TX/75RX (answer)

                        (Same as N0S37=11, S31 bit 1 set to 0 and S37=11)
         F11    Undefined
         F12    Undefined
         F13    14400 bps only (v.FC)
                        (Same as N0S37=15, S31 bit 1 set to 0 and S37=15)

         F16    21600 bps only (v.FC)
                        (Same as N0S37=18, S31 bit 1 set to 0 and S37=18)
         F17    24000 bps only (v.FC)
                        (Same as N0S37=19, S31 bit 1 set to 0 and S37=19)
         F18    26400 bps only (v.FC)
                        (Same as N0S37=20, S31 bit 1 set to 0 and S37=20)
         F19    28800 bps only (v.FC)

+MS     Select Modulation
        Configures the modulation(s), and rate(s) currently supported
        +MS?    Returns Current Setting
        +MS=?   Returns Command Range(s)
        +MS=,,, 
                {Any values omitted remain at the current setting}.
        Example: +MS? responds with "RVFC,0,14400,28800" for VFC ONLY mode.
                 To return to "Default" USA mode of full V34,VFC,V32bis,
                 V22bis, Bell 212, and Bell 103 (assuming B1 is set) the
                 user can enter just "+MS=V34,,300, "
however an input
                 of "+MS=V34,1,300,33600 " would give
the same result.

         specifies the PREFERRED modulation as per the list below.
                Note that verbose or numeric  selections can be
                used and VERBOSE settings are reported.

         0 (Disable) Limits the modem to the PREFERRED 
                        protocol within the specified 
                        and  range.
                   1 (Enable - Default)  Allows the modem to "fall back"
                        to other protols within the specified 
                        and  range for which standard automode
                        procedures exist using V8 or V32 Annex A.
                        Exampe: Failed V34 connection attempts can automode
                        to VFC or lesser protocols, but a Bell 103 connection
                        attempt cannot automode to V23.

         sets the lowest carrier rate that may be used.
                (Default 300 bps)

         sets the maximum carrier rate that may be used.
                (Default 33600 bps)  Setting a non-zero value in the S37
                command adjusts the +MS rate commands as well.


Your modem may not support the text modulation flag, only the numbers.
