Holger, good cold but sunny morning to you.

 HG> Yes, I saw you mentioned this. The cost of stamps would have been less
 HG> than half that ;-)  At least for the cpu alone, with cooler a bit more.

	I was some surprised to see how cheap it was to send you the modem but mainly
how quick it was getting to you. Some eBay items will take 12 days and cost an
arm and a leg.

 HG> As I wrote before i checked it under XPP and it chose (or was set to)
 HG> COM4 and s hex address. I configured Telix to the same values but no go.
 HG> I then set Telix to COM2 and the address that belongs to that but no go
 HG> which is natural if the modem is set to COM4.

	IIRP, it wanted Com 3. Maybe it is not set to this but it ran on that port
here.

 HG> Now, I know that USRobotics have always (previously) had a command set
 HG> that differs from the usual Hayes command set but for operation under
 HG> DOS no driver is needed, only that the com-program is set to the right
 HG> parameters.

	Watch gmail from me, I have attached the full command scenario from USR, a
.doc file of 404 KBs. There are enough commands in these pages to satisfy
anybody.

 HG> I have never owned an USR modem so I don't know the command set but I'm
 HG> sure the commands are given with the "AT" commands.

	You will soon find out.

 HG> As for the three wires in the phone plug, two are used for communication
 HG> and the third one is only a ground wire. The two middle contacts in the
 HG> RJ-11 plug connect correctly to the line.

	Here, the ground was never used. Overkill in your telco ?
