| Add some more comments as to why we don't want to use the modem's line count.
/*
* In practice we cannot trust the modem line count when we're
- * not using ECM due to transmission errors.
+ * not using ECM due to transmission errors and also due to
+ * bugs in the modems' own decoders (like MMR).
+ *
+ * Furthermore, there exists a discrepancy between many modem's
+ * behaviors and the specification. Some give lc in hex and
+ * others in decimal, and so this would further complicate things.
