God knows what you meant to type CPS wise, lets assume 1650 class cps.

Pity thats a dud suggestion. The retrain happens BEFORE any
file is transferred, in fact even before the poll gets thru.
Soorree, proves sweet fuck all about anything at all Dave.

PE> Just the same as NOBODY has EVER reported the ATZ

DD> The ATZ situation in the USRs was only a problem with you.

Crap, mindlessly closing your eyes to a dud implementation wont
make it go away Dave, just makes you look a rabid zealot who can
bear not even the slightest hint of criticism of your beloved.

Corse anyone with half a brain can see rabid zealotry a mile away.

DD> The rest of us recognised it as an operating difference not

Yes, you can adjust to it. You might care to explain why it doesnt make a
HELL of lot more sense for USR to do the ATZ command just like all the other
modem manufacturers do. Can you say rabid zealotry ? I knew you could Dave.

That just means its a deficiency only when in answering mode Dave. So ?

DD> Note.  NOWHERE in the 3 USR (printed) manuals that I have here
DD> do they suggest using ATZ alone, as an initialiation string

Note, who gives a SHIT Dave ?  It should be able to do that Dave.

Rabid zealotry par excellence, or par obscenity actually.

DD> David (ps: I have documentary evidence that I was born on planet Earth).

Bullshit you do, thats forged.
