Pity it's not a bug at all, but the way that all USRs work, and have done
from day one.  Who's to say that Rockwell's method is right anyway?  Maybe
they're the buggy ones...

PE> It is up to USR to fix the bug,

Don't hold your breath waiting then.

PE> I'd probably use ATZ S0=0 myself, if that worked.

BG> It won't.  Think about it for a minute, and you'll see why.

PE> You don't know what will or will not make a code bug appear.

You missed my point as usual.  I said that the above init won't work, it's
up to you to figure out why (no, it's not a trick question).

BG> I've given you the fix.  It's now up to you to use it.

PE> I am happy with my other workaround.  I don't change speed very often.

Then why all the bitching ?  I think you sometimes complain simply for the
sake of doing so.  Try getting out more often, it'll help no end.

BG> For the definitive answer, ask Joe F in the 
BG> USR_Modems echo.  Anything else is just a guess.

PE> So why did you ask me instead of him then? 

Just wanted you to publicly flout your ignorance some more, that's all.

Regards, Bill
