I'm not sure you can just lump this under "Rockwell"; Supra have made some
changes to the reset code in the past. As an example, the modem used to
click a lot; when picking up/dropping the line, and when resetting. (Not a
relay, but something to do with the speaker). They fixed it in later V.34
ROMs, although it seems to have started doing it again a little with the
33,600 ROMs. The V.FC still loves it. :-)


Regards,
Hamish
