PE> What is this spec you are quoting that says that Hayes says

I don't have it.  Ask Bill for it, he is the one quoting it.

DD> Please quote the

Bill's the one who says the USR conforms to the hayes specs
religiously, which is why the ATZ problem exists.  

Now, I will tell you what *I* expect from auto-baud, and that is
to USE the speed that I sent the last AT command at.  That is
what *I* want, and I want to know what software, or what terminal
you are using that you would possibly want ATZ to not auto-baud,
and instead use the speed in NVRAM.  Name just one terminal or
one comms program.  Then I will name some terminals and comms
programs that do NOT work that way.

PE> If you just want to say the USR doesn't autobaud properly/at 
PE> all, then that is fine, fucked by design, no problems. 

DD> The USR Courier "auto bauds" as well as any other modem -
HOWEVER when you 

No it doesn't.  It doesn't auto baud on ATZ.

DD> reset the modem to the stored NVRAM settings (viewable with ATI5) it will 
DD> aknowledge your request and reset ALL settings to those stored in NVRAM.  
DD> This INCLUDES the port speed.

And fail to autobaud, yeah, I know.

DD> To view the current portspeed, use ATI4

I'm sure that will come in really useful.  BFN.  Paul.
