Ah, well, if that's so, there's been a major change in the way Binkley
works with version 2.60.  Hitherto, the PreInit then Init strings were what
were always used to hangup the modem, after which AfterCall was issued,
which had meant that Courier users could not use ATZ in their PreInit or
Init.

Unless of course USR changed the modem to keep the stats after ATZ, which
was also being asked of them at one stage?

Goodo, faster.  Most modems seem to need some delay _after_ ATZ| (and some,
after AT&F), in terms of getting Binkley to swallow spurious OK
responses, and/or to prevent issuing further commands till they've digested
those.

Cheers, Ian
