Try changing the 1st string to 'AT&F', and the 2nd string to just
'AT'.  I doubt you'll need all those extra settings.  Maybe those
two simple init strings will work.

If you're curious, the init strings are used to change various
settings on the modem; e.g. ATS0=0 tells your modem never to
automatically answer incoming calls.  Windows has various modem
profiles which contain all these AT commands, so it does it all
for you.  Having these specialised init strings are typically
unnecessary, though.

If you're lucky and your modem has a good manual, you can find a
gigantic list of AT commands at the back of the manual.
Otherwise, you'll be able to find one online.  What type of modem
do you have?

Good question (i.e. buggered if I know).  One thing I can think
of is that your data rate (e.g. 9600, 38400, 115200) is too high,
and you were simply lucky that your modem succesfully received
the command the first time.  That's reallllly unlikely, though.
The other thing is that 'W1' at the end of the AT command; that
tells your modem to write all those AT settings to its memory.
Perhaps your modem will not over-write settings; the first time
you ran KInternet, your modem's memory wasn't used, so W1 worked.
The second time you ran KInternet, your memory was already
filled, and W1 failed.  This is also pretty unlikely though; I've
never seen a modem exhibit this behaviour.
