Mode Select the method to be used to start a connection to a remote host
or device. Choices are:
Disabled = an outgoing connection is never started. (default)

on the serial line.
Modem Control Asserted = a connection is attempted as long as the
Modem Control pin (DSR) is asserted until a connection is made.
