LI> Neal, thanks for your modem command help. Do you think that
LI> modems that say they are Hayes compatible always are completely,

Linda, that word compatible is the thing. I think from the way
different companies say compatible has a wide range of meaning. It
is not a duplicate. That has to tell you something. While a hayes
compatible will work for the most part like a hayes, there can be
something different. One example, Donna just bought a new avetex,
which is suppose to be hayes compatible, but you can not set the
speed of the dialing tones. That is one example. As far as speech
isconcerned, I have never found a modem that had a problem with
speech since it is the software that would have to work with
speech.
