Interestinly enough, I phoned Helpdesk again, because I was getting "No
Carriers". They suggested that I knock the connection speed down from 33600
to 28800 (I had it set in the %B variable inside the modem), and that I try
using at&f1 to reset the modem to factory values, not at&f.

Before I did this, I couldn't actually connect, now I've not had a bad
connection ever since, even on the 0798666 number that I've not been able to
connect to for months.
