Many of my older modems are from BEFORE "Hayes Compatible" became the
standard for giving commands to the modem.

BTW, Joe Campbell ("RS232 Solution", "C Programmer's Guide to Serial
Communication", etc.) got hired later by Hayes to document just what the
Hayes "standard" consisted of, because there were numerous variation in
commands between Hayes' own modems!
