 GL> Yes, there is later firmware, here's what I'm running:
 GL> Supervisor date        03/13/98
 GL> DSP date               03/13/98
 GL> Supervisor rev         7.3.14
 GL> DSP rev                3.0.13
 GL> Note that x2 and/or V90 will not be enabled unless you purchase the 
 GL> enabling key from USR.
I understand.  Since this is for BBS use only, I don't see any over riding 
need to purchase X2/V90 for the modem.  If I could afford it, I wuould 
replace my (very) old Hayes TA with an I-modem and be able to host V90 
sessions.
 GL> For an Init string, I'd suggest starting with an AT&F1 followed by 
 GL> an AT&W to write the settings into the NVRAM.  This sets the Hardware 
 GL> Flow control template (RTS/CTS) so set your software accordingly.
Thanks, I'll try it and see what happens.
