PE> You quoted something that didn't mention autobaud at all.  

BG> Maybe not specifically, 

Dead right.

BG> but the implication was obvious to everybody except you.  

In the entire manual, they never once mention autobaud, yet you manage to
get an implication that it autobauds on all commands except with ATZ, it
only half autobauds?  Like I say, just typical of you to make things up.

PE> Which is just typical of you.  Invent any old rubbish when 
PE> you haven't got any facts to support you.

BG> What I posted before was a direct cut & paste from the 
BG> USR text manual, so if you choose not to read or believe it, that's your 
BG> problem.

I do believe it.  And I also know that it didn't mention autobaud at all,
nevermind that autobaud only half works on ATZ.  Like I say, just typical
of you to make up any old rubbish to suit your argument.

PE> BTW, isn't this the problem where you gave me a Bill 
PE> Grimsley Guarantee that I was absolutely definitely the only 
PE> person in the entire world who ever had, or ever would, 
PE> suffer from USRs stupid autobaud implementation?

BG> No, I simply guaranteed that only you were stupid enough to forget to write 
BG> the term's changed bit rates to the modem's NVRAM.

That's right.  Which means John doesn't exist, and I didn't reply to him
about his problem, and you didn't reply to me.  Just like a typical Bill
Grimsley Guarantee.  Worth half of the paper it is written on.

BFN.  Paul.
