USR has been following the Hayes standard on dialing strings from the
get-go. Once Hayes itself fell from grace and USR dominated the
modem market, USR and its commandset was considered the standard,
although USR did add or change much of its commandset that had to
do with new functionality (i.e. high speed or higher speed
functions, FAX, voice, etc.) At some point, the Hayes standard no
longer was a standard -- in part due to all the competing modem
manufacturers who had to do it "their way." Perhaps David should have
left the dialing string entirely a user creation. That would bring on
its own problems, though.
For the record: Over the years, I've owned Hayes, USR, Practical
Peripherals, Fastcomm, Everex and several lesser brands of modem. None
of them behaved differently on dialing strings than I've described for
the process in the USR Sportster. And yes, I've tried the ATD,T and
ATD,P options from Net-Tamer. They function as intended -- to build in
a pause after the modem goes off-hook and before a phone number is
dialed. The pause is essential for those on a phone line that is slow
to provide dialtone once the modem attached to that phone line goes
off-hook. Many phone systems across the World have this problem.
