THat is very interesting, and I can see how it would change things.  THis
would cause your modem not to "hear" the other end negotiation for the
first 6-8 seconds.   In the first 6-8 seconds there are several protocols
and conditioning techniques that are negotiated.  By not going through
these steps,  the modems will fall back to the defaults.  

We will investigate this and find out why in some situations the
"defaults" are better than the negotaited, calculated parameters.

If anyone notices a noticable difference with the commas, please let us
know so we can work with the user to determine what exactly is going on.
