Caution: TCPT should never be 0 when using the TCP mode. A
broken TCP session can result in the modem being left with a TCP
half-open connection that can only be terminated with a reset.

Note: UDP auto answer may also be set simultaneously with TCP
auto answer. Then, when in the idle state, the modem will accept
either a TCP connection request or UDP incoming packet, and enter a
TCP or UDP session as appropriate.
