Yup. I am also now playing around with a 33.6K Dynalink USR Sportster

clone, and on the ATI6 screen it always reports "Fallback Disabled". What

is this fallback, is it related to speedshifting? How can it be enabled,

and is it desirable to do so?



The manual, as always, doesnt say much of value.



Another point, I've heard a lot about a bug in the V42bis compression (?)

which is supposed to cause large delays under certain circumstances, but

I cant seem to provoke these symptoms at all, after using it on both BBS

work, and dialup internet for more than a week. In other words, it seems

to be working fine. Is it possible this specimen has later version firmware

that fixes the bug?



Here is an ATI7 dump:



ati7

Fax Options            Class 1/Class 2.0

Eprom                  256k

Ram                    64k



EPROM date             8/13/96

EPROM rev              2.51

DSP rev                2.51



OK



Also, do you know where I might find some technical information on the

significance of the various stats on the undocumented ATI11 screen?

Simon
