That's what ati93 does.. it is sorta a memorial to one of their Engeneer who 
died of Cancer in '93... The to get the fire works, type in:
at194.7=1 
And look at your display.  (it may not be .7, but it is one of the .x's under
9..

OK Hans, thanks for telling me who Willie Brown was and how to get the
fireworks display. I will give it a try.

Well, someone else said that S194.7=1 is supposed to make the fireworks
display to but on my Suprasonic it shows a flashing "12:00" like a VCR
that has just been plugged into the AC line. I wonder if other flash
codes have different easter eggs at the same S reg?

It has been around for ages, but in North America, we don't bother using this
feture because we expect all modems to automatically answer... (the tone 
production i mean).  In any case, this feture works fine if you run a private
BBS, because you can tell all your users to use this tone.
