- I assume you are refering to a message your received from someone in
- Supra's tech support group. I don't work in tech support, they are at a
- different building in a different state. I'm a software engineer in the R&D
- department. So I really can't explain anything they may or may not have said,
- especially since I don't know what they said or what you had asked them.
-
- The %E2 command has NEVER worked in any Supra modem firmware since
- the first V.32/V.32bis product. Supra has always used the %G command to
- control rate renegotiation, not an additional setting of %E. There were
- several firmware releases for the V.34 products with a parser problem which
- would accept the %E2 command, the modem was configured to the %E1 setting
- when the %E2 command was issued.
-
- The true answer on why %E2 was incorrectly parsed in several
- firmware releases... I screwed up. I messed up a parser change and
- started allowing the %E2 setting to return OK instead of ERROR. The
- command parser accepted it but was only testing for a zero or not-zero value,
- 2 is not-zero therefore the configuration was set to %E1.
