There is an inactivity timer for the Sportster as well as for the
Courier modems. It's normally disabled:
ATS19=xxx, where xxx = seconds to wait for inactivity
If you need idle timeouts in the range of a few seconds, use the
modem inactivity timer. If you need idle timeouts for more then 3
minutes, use the SET S# IDLE on the Portmaster.
Btw., the PortMaster didn't seem to handle the value 1 (for one
minute). I didn't try it with the new COMOS 3.1.4, but to be safe use
a value greater than 1.
