P778 Modem attached

Sets port 1 (P778-01) to use an external modem.
Any connected modem must be set up to auto-answer incoming calls. The BW500 and BW500/L
does not automatically configure the modem.
Autobaud (enabled by P778=1)
When the BW500 and BW500/L is powered up or the P779 Modem Inactivity Timeout expires
three carriage returns are sent to the modem to allow it to set its serial connection to P772 Baud
Rate.
If a connection is made with the modem at a different baud rate the BW500 and BW500/L will
attempt to use that rate instead of the P772 value. For troubleshooting purposes the baud rate
on the modem can be hard-coded to the rate set on the BW500 and BW500/L. See your modem
documentation for information on fixing the baud rate.
