Unfortunately no documentation (including Apple's) seems to take account of
the fact that there are TWO different Express Modems (types I &
(surprisingly) type II). Neither of them can use the other one's software
or most of the interesting bits of the strings.

I speak from experience as I have one of each in my 2 Macs, which I fitted
myself.

ISTR that the Mac originally reported uses the type 2, therefore my
originally quoted string is good, whereas with the backwards slash as
quoted in the second string used in a type 2 Express, I *think* he will
find that it times out all connections after 41/2 - 5 minutes.
