I have a real Hayes Smartmodem 2400 and it *DOES* come with non-
volatile memory.... Since when the existence of such memory
VERY NON-STANDARD?  I assume that the Hayes 2400 is a fairly
good example of a "standard" modem... After all, Hayes did
invent the protocol commonly used in all "hayes compatible" modems..

Most Hayes compatible 2400 baud modems come with standard non-
volatile memory... You might have been thinking of the older
1200 baud modems that use to have switches.... Is this
what you were implying? If so, then what you stated is true....
It's sort of confusing when two levels of replys are imbedded
in the message....
