Yeah, so?  Even you might have noticed that the Netcomm put out
a one-line connect string by default.  Didn't even put the EC
information after it either, so as to be compatible with as
much software as possible.  If you go and choose the "massive
connect messages" options, then you are doing so deliberately,
and not following the defacto standard.  So?  BFN.  Paul.
