You need to set your modem to follow Carrier Detect.  This is AT&C1 in the
Hayes command set.  Also set to use hardware flow control: AT&K3  and drop
DTR to hangup.  (I'm reading the Supra command set and it's unclear what
the proper setting is.  It should do it by default though)

You also need to set quiet mode with ATQ1 and no command echo with ATE0.

Then write the settings down with AT&W.

This is old info.  Only really old and cheap modems don't have NVRAM
nowadays.  And if your modem doesn't, go buy one that does.  The Supras do
and are very fine modems IMHO.
