DD> If all modems respond to AT&V with a register list, and the
DD> USR requires a different command, is it fucked by design?

No, but when all modems use ATZ to reload the NVRAM values, and
only the USR modems mindlessly do that with the ports speed too,
FOR NO GOOD REASON WHATEVER, that is indeed totally fucked by design.

And EVEN MORE FUCKED that they dont bother to EVEN MENTION that their
implementation of ATZ is different in detail TO EVERYONE ELSES.

DD> Why would anyone use a Courier on a dumb terminal?

Oh, various reasons like the modem at the other end
is a Courier and the extra speed is desirably etc.

Talk about graphic evidence that NZers are bone from ear to ear.
