- Yes, really. If it wasn't true why would I make the statement? If
- you have the time (and equipment) you can verify the behaviour by testing
- the older firmware with %E1 and %E2 set against the TSB37 test suite. You
- will find that the two settings give the same test results, while setting %E0
- and %G1 gives very different results.

-
- The current manual is wrong, the older manuals (grey cover instead
- of blue & white) did not list the %E2 command. The current manual was
- written using the Rockwell AT manual as a reference, so the %E2 option was
- listed in the manual since it is something Rockwell listed. All of the
- manuals are currently being re-written, this is one of the things that will be
- corrected in the new manuals.
-
-
- At this point we are no longer having a discussion, and the current
- argument could go on forever. So even though we haven't had the required
- references to the Nazis and the imminent death of usenet, I'm going to
- consider the topic closed. So until someone has a real question about
- retrains and rate renegotiations in V.34 or in Supra modems I'm not going to
- discuss them anymore.
