- AT&F1 factory defaults will suffice for 99.999% of all PC-based
- (DOS/WINDOWS) applications.

- You will likely encounter some absurd recommendation for
- a 42-character init string being bantered around for the past
- several years in the various USR user group nets. However, 80% of that
- 42-character string is FACTORY DEFAULT VALUES anyway and what isn't will
- not help your file transfer speeds except in the one special instance
- where you are transferring precompressed data like .ZIP files, and only
- then between dissimilar modems. Between two USR V.Everythings, the
- famous "Jeff Marchi 42-character init string" will sometimes actually
- impede throughput and will never help it. Two or more years ago that
- long init string had some merit. Today, with the new V.Everythings it
- is superfluous.
-
- What you might want to do is speed up your autodialer with the S11
- register, setting it to 50 instead of the default value of 70, but that
- would be the lone recommendation aside from &F1 defaults.
