Unfortunately, you can only "expect" one string, but that string
doesn't have to be the full thing. Most people use CONNECT (see
the sample files) rather than CONNECT/XXX. If you want to limit
the kind of connections (depending on speed or whatever), you
can tell the modem to do this - can't remember the symantics but
it's in the manual.
FWIW, there's a "set debug Connect" if you're interrested in the
full CONNECT response rather than just the fact that it connected.
