I suppose it would be too much to hope for that the modem came with a
manual or even a reference card. We hear stories all too often of
prepackaged internal modems that not only come with no documentation at
all, but not even a brand name. So the poor user has no idea what to do
with it, other than to use the prebundled software, which, of course, only
runs under the prebundled operating system -- i.e. Windows. The problem
is often compounded by PC makers who go for cheap RPI modems rather than
full-function ones...
Anyway, in case you do have the command list, you can always send it
in to us so we can at least add it to our pile of new kinds of modems
to support.
