The double quotes are OK, but what you need to do is remove the
'space' between the double quotes.  You're telling chat to wait until
it receives a 'space' character before sending ATZ to the modem.  Not
surprisingly this won't work. What you need to do is tell chat to wait
for "" (ie. nothing) before sending ATZ to the modem.
