Isn't is true that the only thing that will keep my AT (Hayes) compatible 
modem from working exactly as a Hayes is the coding in the modem's firmware?  
(The S registers.)  As far as shareware, I have't seen any.  I spent hours on 
local BBSs downloading shareware after shareware modules, and none of them 
solved my problem because they were a) for Windows only, or b) were not true 
auto answering fax software.  I don't wish to be rude, but I think it is lame 
of Hayes to tell me a $300+ upgrade for memory and another operating system 
(and I am runnign a 486 system) is dirt cheap, and that the only thing I have 
to worry about is a monitor.  I think modem manufacturers have done a great 
job of keeping up with technological changes and all the frills that 
accompany them, but a uniformly poor job of solving problems.  I had to 
threaten to return my modem if I did not get at least a driver that would 
work without Windows, and this time it worked.  I think Hayes and other modem 
manufacturers are income chasing, and they are failing to see there is a 
market out there for DOS driven products.  It's called goowill, the same 
thing that causes Hayes to maintain and monitor this echo.
