To the guy that called me USRobotics Courier 2400 modem a piece of junk.
I do not know what the Hayes standard is concerning the escape code function.
But I can tell you this: My USRobotics Courier 2400 has a dip switch (#9)
that controls what happens when the user performs the escape code process.
If the dip switch is set up, the "modem disconnects and displayes NO CARRIER".
If the dip switch is set down, the "mode returns to command state and
displayes OK". It seems to me that if you want a USR to be Hayes compatible
in this aspect, all you have to do is to set the dip switch. Concerning the
actual Hayes standard, I *think* that it is to disconnect upon receiving
an escape sequence. But don't hold me to the ground on that one.
 
To you guys that say: 'Well, I just tried it on my Hayes XXXX, and it did
XXXXX". Please consider that you might have dip switches controlling this, too!
