[wxsig] T238+ Modem Problems - problem solved

[wn0x at earthlink.net]

It was very easy to fix.  I just never occured to me to check that out.  But when you mentioned that it sends the version on startup, I got to thinking about how it would id the station, then BAM, I remembered I hadn't entered the station info yet.

Thanks.
