Should there be any reason omitted from my Acermodem 2424 manual explaining
why, in originate mode, my modem should fail to recognize the answer tones
of the modems I dial into more than half the time if ATX4 is in effect,
but connect effortlessly when ATX1 is in effect?  (ATM2 is always in effect,
so my ears know it's not any problem with the modem I'm trying to reach.
On the other hand, the failure to recognize _seems_ to be more likely when
the answering modem picks up after only a fractional "ring" signal is heard.)
