Chances are the modem is right about the PF bit and we perhaps are not - but it's not an encoding dependant bit so the patch is certainly wrong. In this case: 5.4.3.1 says (of UI/UIH etc) 'both stations shall set the P bit to 0' so the modem is right and we are wrong. I think what is actually needed is to just remove the PF setting completely for that function. Obviously the other modems don't care or check the bit.
