It’s been a very long time, but I remember that &D3 (or possibly &D2 depending on particular firmware) and S0=1 were important. I think &C, &R, S6 and possibly S7 were also important, but don’t remember the required values.
A quick peek at the documentation for those switches should provide obvious choices, IIRC.

i have received a few really good looking detailed answers which i will
test when next in the colo and report or wiki.
of course i received one "don't do that, you should not be painting a
bikeshed at all, but building a doghouse." i figure that only one is
not a bad noise level.
thanks all

I think we should paint the garden shed blue...
I will say I'm starting to see a larger number of devices in the marketplace and locations where cellular data are making sense to replace POTS as OOB. The problem I always have is, if you are going to use it as OOB, where does it connect back to. Many of them want to VPN into a few points, but without knowing the ongoing state of their ip connectivity, one doesn't want to end up as the upstream for your oob 
You also need considerations akin to rfc2182 as well.
