In this case, it should read the "config/skel" file for settings
first, then the "config/class1" or "config/class2" or
"config/class2.0" and ask you to double check a bunch of settings by
hand.

If you want to set up a config file specifically for that brand of
modem, run "probemodem" and check the "ATI0" and "ATI3" outputs, then
edit a copy of one of the other config files to use it. For example,
for a PPI 14.4 modem, the key line in the config/ppi-pm14400fxmt file
is this:

	# CONFIG: CLASS2: *PM14400FXMT*-*
	# CONFIG: CLASS2: *PM28800FXMT*-*

This says "gee, any modems that respond with the PM14400FXMT or
PM28800FXMT and runs CLASS2 should use this file". Alternatively, for
a class 1 modem, you get something like this for the cheesey little
Performance modem I have:

	# CONFIG:CLASS1:33600:.*:DEFAULT: Manufacturer=Performance Model=33600

Then sorting out the specific values depends on what your site needs.
If you get them sorted out, please publish them!!! It's very helpful for us
for the next person with your brand of modem.
