There is, I believe it was AT*C or something. What concerns me is that
this is totally undocumented in the papers from Intel.

I also feel uneasy with the possibility of reprogramming the Flash-PROMs.
Many of the modems do have quite a lot of RAM inside, one model I saw
said it had 32kRAM inside (not a Rockwell chip though). It might be 
farfetched, but I would definitely not want someone to upload a "password
sniffer" into my modem.
