	Back in the days before ISDN (almost 2 years for me), I had such a
modem, with which I just used "AT&F" if I recall correctly (or possibly
AT&F1 or AT&F2).  You might check up as to what kind of equipment your ISP
uses as well.  I seem to recall USR's and certain brands of access servers
not playing pirticularly well together (although no recollection of which
brands might be suspect).  Anyhoo, that's all I know... probably didn't
help much. :)
