Yes. This is a country initialization code, and is meant for the PalmV modem -
so that it will work internationally.
Unfortunately, this command isn't supported by all modems and is probably what
is causing your init string to fail.
If you set your country to "Other", then PalmV will not send the country code.
Also, you can try editing the init string. As soon as you do, it should switch
to "custom" and then you can delete the whole thing.
This combined with setting your country to 'other' ought to do the trick.
