Bug or brain-fade?

Is this a bug in RH4.0 or just lack of understanding on my part?

In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp I see the following:

if [ "${ESCAPECHARS}" = yes ] ; then
  opts="$opts asyncmap 00000000"
fi

Shouldn't the comparison be "!=" ?  I.e., if $ESCAPECHARS is yes, then
don't supply an asyncmap and use the default pppd behavior, which is to
escape just about everything. 

Or have I completely mistaken what the value of $ESCAPECHARS is supposed
to mean?

And while I'm on the subject, did anybody else have a problem with a modem
initialization string of AT&F1 ?  The ampersand seriously confused the
shell script... 

Thanks,
Mark
