I disagree.  Having "result codes" on a dialin modem on a Unix
system is a pretty stupid idea, for the above mentioned reason
(Modem sends "CONNECT" message to the computer ... computer thinks
"CONNECT" is a login name, etc.).

There is no reason for the "result codes" to be turned on except
when dialing out.
