Agreed they are large file size (over 1MB on one and close to 1.8MB on the others) and they used the proprietary Adobe .PDF file format. However, that is the present state-of-the-art for manufacturer's documentation. Whether someone likes the approach or not for their own personal reasons is a "none player" as far as the computer component manufacturer is concerned. They can "publish" using a single file format and know that anyone who uses an Adobe viewer will get a consistent display presentation plus it will print to laser - ink-jet - dry-ink - and some dot-matrix printers with the same scale and page formating. So If I was a mfg. and looking at serving the maximium number of users with a single data presentation I would say - "take it or leave it this is all your gonna get from us".

They are in three formats "online" - "MS-Word" - "Adobe .PDF" These files are large 1.6 Mb to over 2 MB. Another one to look at is <http://www.citilink.com/~kae/clink_faq/connecting/general/hayes.html> this gives an overview of the standard Hayes command structure. Heimo is correct that you need to use "at" = because it tells the modem that modem commands follow. This must begin each line of commands. I found the 3COM US Robotics web site to be a royal pain in the sitting area. They are focused on the "latest-and-greatest" rather than supporting any of their older "slow speed" telephone modems. Also their web site has all the latest "junk" stuff to make it only usable with the latest web browser. Plus there is no way to by-pass all their "whistles and bells" and go to a straight text mode option... You can look at <http://www.driverforum.com/modem/> which is a Modem/Fax board discussion list. They have updated drivers for your unit and most others too.
