When I mailed the owner of the V.FC modem, he reponded:-

 DD> Can you please supply the make and model of your modem, plus any ROM
 DD> revsion version if you can find them out.  There should be some of the
 DD> ATI commands that interrogate the chipset.

TC> Sorry to be slow in the reply,I am harvesting and have been short of 
TC> time..I am useing a MAESTRO EXECUTIVE 288FM.I can't find the bloody manual 
TC> anywhere, do you know the hayes command to show rom version?

I have suggested:

ATI9#V0I6#V1

Anyone with any other ideas?
