Just go to your Settings/Serial/Options menu and put a check-mark in the "strip bit 8" box. Interestingly, you can configure your COMMANDS, USER I.D; and PASSWORD for each phone-book entry to automatically dial the number, log you in and GO wherever you want on CIS just by "double-clicking" on the phone-book entry.
