I had some problems with my USR Courier thinking it reached a busy when it got the TrailBlazer mating call (Moose call?) so I made the switch, I would guess the folks at Telebit did too, otherwise they would not have provided the switch and would not have made such a big issue of setting the timeout to 1 min when dialing a PEP site in the manual. Happily this is one of the switches that does not have any side efects other than PEP modems needing a longer timeout when dialing in, at least, I ran into none when writing the uucp/tip dialers and things have been smooth on incomming calls once PEP callers were informed that they would have to extend the timeout on their end. Dumb modems like the Hayes 1200 and the Western Electric 212a/103j don't know the difference beyond having to wait longer for their own mating call. -michael -- Michael Galassi | If my opinions happen to be the same as ...!tektronix!tessi!percival!nerd | my employer's it is ONLY a coincidence, ...!uunet!littlei!percival!nerd | of cource coincidences DO happen.
