Oops. It turns out that the Telebit has at least two ways of disabling escape sequences - setting s55 as above, or setting s2 to something illegal. Bravo for Telebit. The Hayes, on the other hand, doesn't have anything equivalent to s55, and it doesn't store the s2 setting in the EEPROM either. There seems to be *no way* to permanently disable the escape sequence (without completely disabling command recognition, which is too drastic). Why is it that Hayes always manages to miss what you want by just a little bit? Another example is the &D parameter - you can have DTR disable auto-answer when it is low, or you can have the fall of DTR reset the modem, but you can't have both - so either your modem answers when the machine is down, or you accept the fact that you can't reset the modem each connection. Bah humbug.
