I checked a couple of different modem manuals here (at this point I have
more different modem manuals than I have modems), and I did find that they
vary with respect to the &F command. Some use &F as Lawson says above, to
restore factory default. Others use &F0 and &F1 to restore to two different
factory defaults (hard to tell for sure, but these may be modems that had
different defaults for PCs and Macs).
So, as Lawson and I have been saying throughout this thread, the specifics
of your modem matter. As a general rule, if you don't know what an AT string
is supposed to do (and "I'm told will help a modem under Linux" doesn't
count), don't try to use it without looking it up in the manual for your
actual modem.
