CAUSE

initialization string for the modem. Users should add or change one of the
existing strings.
RESOLUTION

the insertion point just past the "Z" in "ATZ", pressing the DELETE key,
then typing an ampersand (&) and an "F". (IMPORTANT: Do not simply

string and backspace out any unwanted information.)

MORE INFORMATION
Shiva is locking out all possible settings on the 2400 modem with a
"vanilla" v.22bis connection, no v.42bis or MNP. This string should be
successful with almost any Hayes-compatible 2400 v.42bis/MNP data/fax
modem.
