Messenger Modem. Caller ID Type I and password authentication is supported in the current version. 
If you specified the password as the authentication method then you will be prompted to enter the 
password (using phone pad) when you are calling into the modem to enter the M3 system, 
as well as in case if the Caller ID could not be detected (for example due to bad line condition).
