cli syntax:	• you can set the ‘dial’ parameter to ‘in’, ‘out’ or ‘none’ (default ‘none’) in the line
set line	parameters sub-menu. Setting ‘in’ or ‘out’ tells the unit that there is a modem on
	that line. The unit will communicate with the modem through various RS232
	signals. The ‘dial’ parameter can be set for all line services (e.g. cslogin, silent
	raw).
set line	• when dial is set to ‘out’ and the line service is set to ‘slip’ or ‘ppp’ you can enter a
	‘phone number for the unit to dial (line parameters sub-menu). This combination
	of circumstances occurs when you have two units connected back-to-back; i.e.
add modem	they are acting as routers.
	• when the ‘dial’ parameter to ‘in’ and the line service is set to ‘cs_login’, ‘slip’ or
set modem	‘ppp’ the unit can initialise a modem. You enter a modem name and initialisation
	string in the modems sub-menu. The unit will initialise that modem before any
	new connection is started.
