But you will lose this settings when the modem is reset / power cycled. 
"AT&W0" will save the current settings such that they are restored next 
time you switch / reset your modem. i..e. start up minicom, make sure 
its connected to your modem, set S0, then save the config:

AT
ok
ATS0=0
ok
AT&W0
ok
