BG> If they're too stupid to RTFM, then fuck 'em, it's their problem.

PE> And where does the manual say that
PE> autobauding doesn't work on ATZ? NOWHERE.

He's right, not a single mention of the fact that USR does it differently to
everyone else, and differently to every other AT command, even on USR modems.

BG> No, but the manual DOES tell you that you need
BG> to write any baud change to NVRAM with AT&W.

PE> No it doesn't.

He's right, thats only mentioned in the &B2 command, which hardly anyone
actually uses. Soorree, that line of yours at the top is a dud Bill.

BG> Fucking bullshit.  I've already posted that part of the
BG> manual which states this, so I won't be bothering again.

Probably wise, it doesnt actually support your claim.

BG> And NOWHERE does it suggest using ATZ as an init$ anyway.

PE> It is listed as one of the commands.  An init string is just another
PE> command.  Nowhere does it say that you cannot issue the
"ATZ" command.

BG> And nowhere does it suggest that you use ATZ as an init$ either.

It doesnt actually say you can download files from a BBS either Bill.

Only a complete rabid zealot would try to claim that it they dont
specifically state you can use a particular command in a particular
situation, you arent entitled to expect it will actually work.
