- N|-This fix sounds great. However, I have some concern about removing
- N|-the ";".
- N|-The purpose of the ";", as I understand it, is to execute a modem
- N|-command WITHOUT leaving command mode. The modem remains ready for
- N|-the next command.
- N|-This isn't always needed. But sometimes it is. My fear is that the
- N|-";" the modem me go "on-line" when the driving software doesn't
- N|-expect that result.
- N|-Any comments would be much appreciated.

- Well, if it creates any trouble, I've yet to see it!
-
- I'm *extremely* happy to have my dialing prompts audible again!
-
- Kudos to Peter Ho in this conference!!!
- He has fixed a problem that Cardinal hasn't been able to fix since the
- 1.4 flash was available!!
