In article 392@wpg.UUCP, Russell Lawrence (a real one, not Gidget's
father of the same name) asks about waking up PCP modems.

Some PC Pursuers send the modems a ^E to get them into Racal-Vadic
command mode in order to get additional status messages that are not
provided in Hayes mode.  Unfortunately, they log off without remembering
to set them back to Hayes mode for the next caller.

If you get a modem that is still in Racal-Vadic command mode, it won't
respond to ATZ.  Send it *i (for "idle") to get it back to Hayes command
mode, then ATZ.  That may help SOME of the time.
