m6 was the modem that the user (my home connection is this case) on S6 was
bound to.... They just both happened to be 6.

e.g.
S12 45333 M16 ptp53 Netwrk ESTABLISHED 616808031 4004963885
0

reset m16
M16: Modem Resetting
argon2> S12: Session Terminated - User Request - Call Circuit Closed

Again, I initiated an action on the server-- reset the modem, and the
Termination is a "user request", which clearly it is not the case.
