-= Pete Replied to Russell Brooks about: USR Courier problems =-

G'day Russell

 RB> (snatched from USR_Modems cause I don't think Joe F, needs to
 RB> know that we have our own Code'rs in Aust.)

gulp  sorry guys i was just on a high about
getting some new code for my Courier.

 PL> It confuses some modems into thinking it's a fax call.

 PC> i found with the 18/07 code that unless they were on i'd get a
 PC> vfc instead of v34 connect, btw i'm currently running the hacked
 PC> US code i freq'd it off you the other night.

 RB> Anything good spreads like wildfire, (and this is GOOD)

no argument from me, interesting that some settings must be in ROM ie,
even with the *enhanced* code S11 still can't be set lower than 70

 RB> It was I, who started referring to this code as "the hacked US
 RB> code" in a  public echo.

Maybe we should call it "The *ENHANCED* US Code" hacked is such an
ugly word.

 RB> On second thought ( and to protect our investment in the man
 RB> that has finally done what the offical distributor should have
 RB> done 4 months ago and may do again in the future for all
 RB> Australian Courier owners, if not harrassed)

I don't know why they persist with different code versions, even with
the US code installed S11 won't go < 70 and ATS0=1 still sets the S0
reg to 2, i've never seen a -9dB Tx level usually -12.5->-13dB so what
does the Austel code do or not do the the US code does?

 RB> we should not be spouting about where the code is available from
 RB> or who did it. Otherwise some beaurocrat will have USR rewrite
 RB> future SDL's to be un-hackable and have Austel on the lookout.

fair enough. Oh no it's the Austel Modem Police kicking in my door
... NO CARRRIER

 RB> I think we should be using it ourselves but keeping it quiet.

or talk in code "The blind man sees all" could mean a new enhanced SDL
is out.

 RB> I, for one don't want to see Steve writing his SDL from behind
 RB> Bars.

True, though we could send him a Courier with a file in it.

 RB> I suppose the damage is done, though. I am half expecting Ian
 RB> (moderator) to put the mocka's on talking about promoting an
 RB> "Illegal" file in his public echo.

i'll await moderator netmail.
