Nope, I classify the USR as being "Hayes-compatible", insofar as
many of its more basic commands and lower S-registers functions are similar
to the vast majority of other "Hayes-compatible" modems.

Are you sure about that?  I didn't say that it must, only that most do.

That's crap too, and I didn't say that either.  Care to try proving
otherwise by quoting me ?

I have just farted noisily in your general direction...
