Only those who have cheap junk modems, or who don't know how to set them
up properly.
There's a simple AT command that's valid on all modems which even pretend
to match the Hayes command set which disables this possibility.
Of course, good modems who actually license the Hayes command set
accordingly don't have this problem.
