  Not quite true.  The Hayes 2400 (at least, the ones I've
worked with) has some EEPROM inside, and you can tell it to
save it's current settings in that memory so it will come up
in the right state if the power cycles.  This is why they felt
they could delete the DIP switches.

  Have a look at the manual; I don't recall the command but
it should be easy to find.
