 Got a modem for Christmas, some "56K for $56" job-lot special so
 generic they don't even have the manufacturer's name on the box.
 Turns out it's a BestData Smartmodem 56F.  Only has two sheets
 of installation instructions in the way of docs.  There is a
 website, and it has a doc file on their 28.8 modems, but not
 one on the 56Kflex models.  Anyone know anything about it?
 In particular, the +MS command?  I get:
at+ms?
56,1,300,56000,0,0,33600
OK
at+ms=?
(0,1,2,3,9,10,11,56,64,69),(0,1),(300-56000),(300-56000),
(0,1),(0,1),(300-33600)
OK
 The 28K docs show the first four parameters:
 +MS - Select Modulation
       This extended-format command selects the modulation,
       optionally enables or disables automode, and optionally
       specifies the lowest and highest connection rates using
       one to four subparameters.  The command format is:
       +MS=,,,
 It then explains those in more detail.  Anyone know what the
 additional three parameters for the 56K mean?  The last in
 particular is puzzling (the two before it are merely cryptic:
 on/off choices could mean anything at all).  Why should the
 range of that stop at 33600 on a 56K modem?
... Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
