PPP WONT WORK! CANT INSTALL PACKAGES/PORTS

AT hayes in AT commands is

	ATH	hangup
	ATA	answer phone (some beeps to answer the other modem)
	ATY	??
	ATE	no echo
	ATS	without parameters is an invalid command

I bet that you could get away with

	ATH

alone. Why that would be needed is not clear to me. If the modem answers
to AT it should understand Hayes.
