until the next character in the string is
received before continuing e.g. ?P means wait
until the character P is received from the host
before proceeding.

= This character imposes a delay of two seconds
in the procedure.

! The exclamation mark tells the M10 MODEM to
transmit the next character as it stands e.g.
!= means transmit the character = rather than
wait for two seconds. The character ! allows
the M10 MODEM to distinguish between special
characters and transmitted characters.

^ This symbol instructs the M10 MODEM to send
the next character as a control character e.g.
^C means transmit Control-C.
