I run both lines bi-directional on this system.  The approach I use is to
turn off echo and result codes when I prepare the modem for dialin.  Then,
when the modem is being initialized for dialing out, result codes and echo
are both enabled.  I use verbose result codes since getty is no longer in
the picture.

The string I send just after hangup is ATE0V1Q1S0=1, then when I am
ready to start dialing I send ATE1V1Q0S0=0 [ and curse the RING codes I
still wind up getting ].
