Adding &w to extra settings in Win95 means that every time the user
connects, the current config is saved to the modems flash.
As flash RAM only has a finite number of writes before it can fail you
are best to just put &f (or &f`1) in extra settings, this resets the
modem to (a) factory default but doesn't write anything to flash.
As I said in my previous message, another way is force standard modem
:-)
Just my 2p
