Right.

I've never heard of reads wearing out an eeprom.

True, but it doesn't do anything. You don't need to have the first
send-expect sequence, at least theoretically you don't.
I recommend to both Matt and Junebug that you get some decent info on
profiles and configuration strings for your modems. This is particularly
true if you are working with a 28.8 modem. The configuration settings
are complicated, and the factory defaults may not always be what you
want (AT&F resets the modem to factory defaults, btw).
I had a major problem with my Zoom VFP modem and went poking around
their BBS. I found a great file posted by a very knowledgable user. His
advice solved all of my modem problems. He also goes into detail about
line noise. I will email it to anyone who thinks it would be useful. If
you don't have a Zoom, just try to find some similar information.
