options can be selected by pressing the Æ button.

this option to connect to a remote modem by manually dialing the number on a 
phone connected to the local modem. When the remote modem answers, press 
the Enter button to establish a connection with the remote modem. You can also 
use this option to temporarily place the modem in originate mode for back-to-
back testing.
