Vendor-specific Notes Exar seems to be similar to ZyXEL in that they implement only a portion of the de facto Class 2 specification. Exar implements Class1 in it's newer firmware. Rockwell has adopted the Hayes ATI4 extensions documented in the Hayes Technical Reference for listing product features and supported speeds Rockwell seems to be implementing Class1 in all of it's firmware for more recent firmware. Rockwell is not implementing as much of the de facto Class 2 specification in the newer firmware for 144DP and 2496 models as in the older firmware for the 2496 models Sierra has a strange error reporting technique for commands like AT+FJUNK since what they return is '000\r\nOK' which doesn't really make much sense but seems to be consitant in any Sierra based products. ZyXEL has a problem with returning OK for commands which they don't implement. This makes it hard to determine if a command works or not. ZyXEL implements the following commands only: +FAA=, +FCLASS=, +FCLASS=?, +FCLASS?, +FCR=, +FDCC=, +FDCS:, +FDIS=, +FDR, +FDT, +FET=, +FLID=, +FMDL?, +FMFR?, +FREV? They had bugs with the handling of +FLID and the handling of "s. They also had bugs with the reporting of the +FCSI: string in that it was truncated to 19 characters. These have all been fixed in later ROM releases. _________________________________________________________________ Sam Leffler. Last updated $Date: 1994/10/19 23:53:53 $.
