I have been told by friends that a lot of software for modems requires that your auto-dialling be EXACTLY like hayes does it, down to even the timings. They say that people have used this in hacks and if the timings etc. are not right then you are in trouble. I have a design for a 2400 bps modem which I think is Hayes compatible. Can anyone tell me of any software that sells in any volume that depends on this sort of exact compatibility and will fail otherwise. Note that my modem does exactly what Hayes says its modems do in the manual. I am looking for programs that depend on ANY unmentioned pieces of information about the Hayes modem. If you point out any such software to me I will get you a 2400 bps modem really cheap in a couple of months. On a similar note. Does anyone out there want to test out production samples a month from now. I should be worth my while to give you a free sample. Thanks much for the help. Sesh. P.S. Thanks for the help about private labelling.-- uucp: seismo!cmu-ri-leg!ssm arpa: ssm@cmu-ri-leg
