Well, I visited the site and have replaced the serial cable
going from the modem to the computer. It seems to work now so
I really hope it was the cable (but I don't understand how it
could work 99% of the time). Anyway, what does "set openmode active"
do? I can't find any documentation on this command.

Thanks,
