   [...] Either the software gives
   the &w command once a minute or it doesn't.  Which is it?
   I would like to know since we are considering the purchase of this
   product for use with hayes modems.

And here I thought people read articles that they quoted.  Guess I was wrong.

Also, the "&W" command is not part of the "standard" AT-command set.  Vanilla
Hayes modems, in fact, don't even have EEPROMs.  You have to configure them
the old fashioned way: DIP switches...

I still don't particularly see why Liason has to reconfigure the modem on
every boot, unless you are reconfiguring your modem a lot when Liason
isn't looking :-).  It doesn't seem like a problem, though.

C combines the flexibility of assembler with the power of assembler.
