I don't know about the quality of the Cermatek command language (although if this bit I read abotu ^N is the case, it is garbage) but one thing I do know is that whenever I have noise problems dialing a modem, It's a Cermatek. My modem is a Hayes smartmodem and half the time calling one of the local machines with a cermatek you get a very noisy line, full of rubouts and braces (7e,7f) - quite a pain. Other Hayes modems have the same problem. Oddly, it's solved by taking an extension phone off the hook and pulling out the microphone - obviously the line needs to be loaded down. Anyway, these modems are clearly built with their sensativity set too high, and I wouldn't get one if they still have that problem. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. - Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
