A modem can be reset. This will change any options (such
as parity and speed) to the values that they have when the modem
is first used. This can be useful if you change some values for
the modem and aren't sure what they do, and then you find that
the modem won't work. Resetting the modem will fix everything

p[1]result codesp[0]
These are either numbers or words that the modem
sends to the communications program (which will usually print
them on the screen for you to see) that indicate how the modem
responded to an action you requested. For example, if you tell
the modem to dial a number, it may respond with "CONNECT 1200",
which is a result code that means that the computer dialed the
number and connected to a computer on the other end. [See also

poor, these modems can "retrain"--they change their equalization
so as to better accommodate the lines. [See also equalization]

Whenever an error is encountered, retransmitting the data will
fix the problem.

p[1]reverse modep[0]
When a modem switches the signals it should send.
For example, in reverse mode, a modem that dials another computer
will act as though it just received the call. Some modems only
let you dial out (they do not accept calls). In order to call
one of these modems, you would have to set your modem to reverse
mode, and then call the computer.
When you are in a message base, you may find this
command which will allow you to read messages is backwards order
(from newest to oldest messages).
