I've never actually tested it on the USR Password I use, but on a REAL
Hayes modem, the +++ sequence must be preceded and followed by a full
second (default, is adjustable, I think) of no data to prevent just
this sort of confusion.  If the USR/Apple doesn't do this, then Apple
has screwed up.  Probably the people writing MacTerminal use a real
Hayes, since it's so much better (personal opinion, of course); that
might explain why MacTerminal doesn't do some of the things that it
wouldn't have to do if you were using a Hayes instead of a USR/Apple.

According to the manual for my USR Autodial, it also requires a full second
of silence before and after the sequence.  Although the length is fixed, you
can change the "+++" to any other sequence of three identical characters.
