He most likely is talking about the +++ATH0 problem with most newer modems, there's a string to fix it that you can use as part of your AT string to init the modem.

Weird that it'd wind up in the Linux kernel. :) -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
