 SL> 2. What version of firmware does your M11F have?

 JP> Series 5  V.FAST Class 28800 Modem DFS(J) F2.43L (C) NetComm Ltd.
 JP> 1994

 SL> A bit old... the original version?

Yes. I haven't ever upgraded the firmware in this modem at all ...

 SL> Sure can, just download SM3200.EXE (filename may have changed) from the

Will do.

 JP> Thanks for all your help. This is my new profile:

 SL> My only comment is that you should probably change
"&D0" to "&D2".

I acctually changed it within minutes of posting you my profile. Oddly,
M11Fs leave &D set to 0 by default ...
