Fax/data discrimination with Vgetty & Supra

I have been using mgetty for a while without trouble but when I switched to
vgetty I found that my modem (a Supra Sonic 33.6) insisted on answering in
fax mode.  It turns out that right before answering, vgetty was sending
AT+CLS=2 (equivilant to +FCLASS=2 in mgetty) but unlike mgetty was not
sending a #CLS=0 afterwords.  I went ahead and changed the fax mode to 0 in
answer.c since the following command (+FAA) made the #CLS=2 redundant and
all was well.  A better choice (read one that doesn't cause problems for
other modems) would probably be to leave the origional #CLS=2 and add a
#CLS=0 after it but that wasn't necessary for my modem at least.

I just wanted to post this in case anyone else has been having a similar
problem.
