I have also run into many web sites with pages that no longer exist at the address published. The best approach is to lop off the last portion of the address until you get an actual page that works. With the Rockwell site, chopping off the last part to yield http://www.nb.rockwell.com/ref gives you a valid page (at least it did when I tried it a few minutes ago). >From there, you must do a little detective work to find your way around. A few seconds of reading showed a link which started out:
"Rockwell Generic AT Command Manuals For Online manuals in several formats, click here" and clicking on that gave me this address: http://www.nb.rockwell.com/ref/at_commands.html which is where you can find further links to the AT commands. If you are familiar with DOS, UNIX or Windows, you already know how directory structures work. Web pages are arranged using directory structures, and as such are subject to change as a site is updated. Web addresses are really nothing more than paths and a filename which points to a specific document. If you have ever moved a document from one directory to another you can see why web addresses can become outdated very quickly. For their own convenience, most website administrators try to name and arrange files in a logical manner. In the case of Rockwell's site, it appears that one of the original documents, 1048r2.html was changed to 1048PR3a.html, which now resides in a new directory. In summary, when you run into a "Not Found" message, examine the web address you are using and remove the portion after the last forward slash ("/") mark and try again. You may need to repeat this procedure a few times before you get a valid document. >From there, look around a little and you may end up with the item you were looking for, or perhaps a reference to another web site that now carries the information you seek.
