It's in the modem initialisation commands you send using "chat". Can't
remember the codes just now, but I think "M0" might be one of them. "L0"
might be the other. They're standard modem commands as far as I know.

i.e. ATM0^M and so on.

I'll let you know for sure when I get home and can look at my modem config
