- There's a quirk with the v1.4 firmware where the speaker gets muted after
- it hits the ";" command in an AT command string. So, if you dial a
- number like Windows 95 does, for example:
-
- AT;D;T;5551212;
-
- The speaker will get muted after it hits the first ";" after "AT". The
- modem will dial the number, but you won't be able to hear it on the
- speaker. To avoid this quirk you want to leave out the ";" command or
- place the number to be dialed before any ";" command in an AT command
- string. For example:
-
- ATDT5551212 works normally
- ATDT5551212; works normally
-
- Now, the good news. I spent about 15 mins. looking into this and found
- a fix for Windows 95. Look for a file named MDMROCK.INI in
- C:\WINDOWS\INF. First, make a backup of this file. Then, load this file
- into a text editor and do a search for
-
- ";" (parenthesis included)
-
- and replace it with
-
- ""
-
- The original line should be changed from
-
- HKR, Settings, DialSuffix,, ";"
-
- to
-
- HKR, Settings, DialSuffix,, ""
-
- This works for me. Drop me an email if it works for you.
