You're right, of course, now that I think about it.  I had been reading
a manual at work for a Microcom modem which said the S10 register was
ignored on V.32 connections.  Either they're actually disabling it on
V.32 (when it may be unnecessary), or the manual meant to say V.42.

As for trying it, it's not really an option, as nobody in town offers
affordable 9600-baud modems.  Thus I'd have to get one mail-order to try
anything.  Can you imagine the face of the customer-service representative
when I tell her/him that my modem won't hang up on line noise?? :-)
