I think there is an undocumented register in v4.0 of the firmware, that allows
you to disable the little packets (the ones for interactive use). As far as I
can remeber it's register 120 that allows you to set different packet modes.
Possibly you have to set 120=2 to allow long packets only, but I'm not
sure.. Perhaps telebit can answer this and tell us if there are other
undocumented registers.

BTW, we use a Telebit TB+ that we've got from the U.S. here in Switzerland,
Europe. I heard that the new firware (v4.0) supports V21 and V23. If this is
true, it would be nice to know how to use this features ! (eg. V21 fallback
for our poor 300 bps users.. ;-)
