Now THAT is a truer statement.  Saying that your modem doesn't
retrain to other V.32bis modems is not, you simply don't know.
You MAY know that they ride out the retrain with more success
than a Supra.

It isn't documented that the USR does autobaud, and in fact it
doesn't.  Ok, so its simply a lousy modem, not supporting
autobaud, just like the M34F is a lousy modem, not supporting
SE connects.

DD>> Note.  NOWHERE in the 3 USR (printed) manuals that I have

PE> So?  What do they suggest using as an initialization string

DD> They don't give ONE init string, they list a handful for various occasions.

And no explicit warning about not using ATZ, it screws up the
baud rate?

DD> Also, under compatibility, the manual makes no reference to "Hayes".

Ok, so it's not a Hayes compatible modem.  Fine, just say it's a
lousy modem, that isn't Hayes-compatible, and doesn't support
auto-baud, and be done with it.  BFN.  Paul.
