One thing that I have discovered ... when you own a Logicode internal
33.6 modem, there is no such thing as a "standard AT command set"!  If
as you say above, ATF1 turns on "line echo", you would think that there
should be a way to turn it off, except for ATZ.  As I mentioned earlier,
ATF0 is an "ERROR".  The only "F" command between "zero and twenty" that
is not an ERROR is ATF1 ... but it can't be turned off :-))
Bye for now ... Bob
