Basic Modem Operation

The initialization string sent to the Trumpcard for cellular connections may
not result in the optimum connection when used for landline connections.
If possible, set the communications software to send the desired
initialization string based on the type of connection being used.

Refer to the section Receiving an Incoming Call for details on how to
command the Modem to receive incoming calls.

Cellular Call Status

The Trumpcard provides a method of determining if the cable connection
to the cellular phone is operational. The AT^T6 command is used for this
purpose and returns a decimal number representing the current status.
The bit map for the status byte is:
