I discovered something else.
While I was typing the previous message and watching the IRL race I
left a K95 screen
Into which I had typed
At
Atdt123
<esc>
When I returned to that screen which displayed blank when I left it
showed
AT
OK
ATDT123
NO CARRIER
I tried some more examples and discovered that the modem commands do
get
echoed, but from 3 to 7 minutes after they are typed
Most recent example:
I typed
Ati1
Ati2
Ati3
Blind as fast as I could.
7 minutes later the following displayed all at once:
ati1
Smart Link 56K Voice Modem
Smart Link (www.smlink.com)
Ver3.20.04W
OK
ati2
Smart Link (www.smlink.com)
Ver3.20.04W
MV (CID)
OK
ati3
Smart Link (www.smlink.com)
HAMR5603(Sec) on SiS
OK
