Well, my bomb of an Avtek has CP (ComPression) and EC (Error-Correction) LEDs

and they don't work at all!!!  AT%C3\N3 to turn on both and AT%C0\N0 to turn

both off don't make a scrap of difference - the LEDs stay off permanently.

Sometimes, on power-up, one will come on.  And then I'll power-off and then

power-on AGAIN to turn it off... :)
