    I remember that a long time ago some modem vendors that didn't want to pay a patent fee or
something had removed the following \n (or \r) from their at commands. With this it was possible to
send +++ath0 in a specially crafted packet through, for instance, IRC and have the person on the
other end disconnected. It was similar to this IIRC.
    Most vendors fixed that, though.
