Yea. I haven't looked at that part of the code, only that AT+CRC is the 
first command sent (if i remember right). Our modem sends a ^SYSSTART on 
powerup, what causes ofonod to go back to its initial state?

What is the "normal" start-up string for modems (i was told mc75 doesn't 
really abide the norm) ?

Thanks,
