One is from Racal mode (enter control-E then after an ATZ; enter I [idle] to return to Hayes mode). I'll spare you the details, since there seems to be a security block now which prevents you form altering the option tables in Racal mode (PHOOEY!!) On my RV 2400VP you also could toggle the EC from Hayes mode using the AT*En command, where (if I remember correctly) n=0 disabled error correction n=1 allowed for error correction with fallback to "vanilla" mode n=2 disconnected if EC mode could not be negotiated. These are different modems, so the options might be different. Try a few. But AT*E0 might just do the trick for you.
