-
- The modem was purchased 10 days ago... and still ATI7 reports ERROR !
- So i cant tell... ATI6 reports "USR Courier Dual Standard V34 Fax" (not v34+)..
- I have also the AT&N15 and AT&N16 commands but register S56.5 (V34+ disable) is
- forced to 1 (disabled) and i cant clear that bit.
- What a mess, i thought USR was the best. And no way to find a new BIOS for my
- modem.
- Is this the way USRobotics supports foreign countries ?
-
- >There have been people who have hacked the US/Canada code to work on modems
- >for other countries. However, THAT is the reason the new code is no longer
- >available on the ftp site or bbs. Since Italy and the other European nations,
-
- That is the reason ? Then what's the reason why i get NO SUPPORT ? I have paid
- the extra money for my Courier and i PRETEND support. Lots of people here own a
- Sportster, half the price and faster than my Courier.
-
- >as well as other countries around the world, have such varying telephone
- >systems and regulations, USR has been forced to limit the availability of the
- >US/Canada code due to pressure from the Euro powers-that-be. We in the US now
- >have to call tech support and have them mail us a diskette with the code.
-
- I dont think that removing the forbidden features (!!?!?!? can i damage something
- if i have a 33600 modem here in Italy ?????) in the foreign upgrade is such a hard
- job. And i have paid for that too.
-
- SHAME ON USROBOTICS.
-
- See you, i have to crack the new USA upgrade executable to work on any modem
- this afternoon.
