G'day Ian

 IS> Who can tell me exactly what model the following indicates?

 IS> ati8
 IS> Series 5  V.32bis Modem Y7DFS(A) V2.56B NetComm Ltd. (C) 1994 

It looks like a smartmodem, being a series 5 it should be flash ROM
upgradeable.

 IS> I was told that this is an M7F, but the frontplate / switch
 IS> cover says 'Automodem E7F', and there's only a line RJ socket

I'd say an M7F sounds about right, it doesn't look like a AutoModem,
The model number SM = SmartModem. BTW Netcomms only have one RJ11 for
the line input, there's no phone output :-(

 IS> Any advice on the following current setup would also be

Type AT? The SmartModems have extensive help built into to firmware.
