This setting configures whether or not the modem will automatically answer
the telephone line.
Answer Command string
This string causes the modem to answer upon ring or to never answer. It is
directly preceded by the Commandprefix string and is commonly set to "A."
Attention string
The attention string is sent to the modem each time the port is logged out or
when the server first boots. The modem must return the OK string. Otherwise,
it is assumed that the modem is disconnected or unavailable. The string is
commonly set to "at."
Busy string
The modem should respond with this string if the remote telephone line is
busy. It is commonly set to "BUSY."
Carrier wait string
This setting determines the amount of time (in seconds) that the modem will
wait for a carrier. If a carrier isn’t received within this period of time, the call
will fail. By default, Carrierwait is set to 60 seconds.
