Hi, David.

DD> A thought . . .

DD> If all modems use ATZ to reset the settings in memory to those stored
DD> in NVRAM and if all modems store the port speed in NVRAM and if the
DD> USR Courier is the only modem that resets the port speed on ATZ then
DD> aren't all other modems fucked by design?

No. *If* all those things are true then all those other modems could be
said, in a legalistic sense, to have a bug in that their implementation
does not conform to the documentation. But it's the Courier that's
fucked by design.

DD> Isn't the Courier the only modem behaving as documented?

Yes, if all those things are true. But if so it's the design that's
fucked, in that it does not conform to what users expect, and can
cause real operational problems.

Regards, FIM.
