[F6] Modem Initialize String

You should verify in your modem user manual that all of the commands in the
modem initialize string are supported. All unsupported commands should be
deleted from the initialize string, or your modem may not function properly.

Pay particular attention to commands beginning with “&”. If your modem does not
support these AT commands, there will be either a dip switch or a set of jumper
switches on the modem that will have to be checked to make certain that the
hardware handshaking is configured properly.
