Hi Stephen.

I posted the message in AUST_MODEM a few weeks ago, didn't receive a reply,
so I assumed you hadn't been reading. I haven't been following AUST_MODEM
myself,
so I haven't seen your reply yet (I've also been away).

Hmmm. I always used S95=47 to report the DCE speed. Maybe it's superfluous
since I'm using the %U2 and \V1 (or whatever it was that you suggested).

And it does. I still have the upgrade on my filebase somewhere.

I'm not a complete idiot Stephen. :-) :-)

                                   ^^^^^^^^^

Not sure what this means, but it's certainly different from yours.

ATI2 returned two OKs. Normal?

That's what I want. :-(

Procedure chomped, but filed in case I need it. I did exactly as the manual
told me, all except for specifying a DTE rate with /C=19200.

 SL> Notes: 1 COM2 assumed

Just as well. :-)

 SL> 2 19200 bps is slow but sure

Dunno why -- the thing's capable of 115k2. I lock it at 57k6 anyhow.

Thanks. I'll twiddle with that S95 register and dial a BBS to see what
happens. If I somehow fix the problem before you get back to me, I'll drop
you another
message.
