Newer modem +communications programs reset the initializations string for you according to +which menu options you select, which features you enable, &etc;.</para> + +<para>For many years Hayes modems have been the standard. As the field of modem +manufactures has grown, most have adhered at least loosely to the Hayes +standard. The following is a partial list of the Hayes command set. (called the +<quote>AT</quote> commands). The Hayes Command Set can be divided into four +groups:</para> + +<variablelist> +<varlistentry> +<term>Basic Command Set</term> +<listitem><para>A capital character followed by a digit.

The +register will be storing a particular <quote>variable</quote> (alpha-numeric +information) which is utilized by the modem and communication software.
