   I've been using a USR Courier for about 6 months now.  Fine modem. Works
great! Doesn't do much in the way of terminal emulation or unattended operation
(like, nothing).  Sounds like you were getting some kind of line from PC Conn-
ection!

True.

  Wrong.  The Hayes people decided to implement a very strange superset of
their 1200-baud command set in order to allow for new features like 2400 baud.
Strange as it may seem, in this regard, the USR is more "Hayes-compatible"
than the Hayes. It's extra command set is a very logical extension to the
original Hayes set.  I recommend this modem most highly.
