Could well be. The typical Rockwell modem has a pretty sparse command set, but
that doesn't really say much. I bought a Spirit 336L yesterday for $199, it
doesn't have the AT\S command, for example (which gives a full page listing
of settings on some Rockwells, such as the Supra). But on the other hand,
it seems to connect places a lot better than either of my Supras, although
I haven't given it much of a thrash as yet.


Regards,
Hamish
