- Note that the WorldBlazer uses TIES, while the T3000 doesn't. Or
- perhaps it now does -- My T3000 from last year used the Hayes-style
- guard time, which was replaced by TIES in the WorldBlazer upgrade.
- It's documented on the last page of the WB addendum. I called tech
- support asking why (before I noticed it in the manual) and was told
- "we're trying to get out of paying Hayes."
-
- The way TIES is implemented on the WB is a bit unusual. If you type
- +++ with appropriate guard time, you will get an OK prompt. However,
- if you subsequently type any character which is not a valid AT command,
- the modem will issue the CONNECT string and go back online. Is this a
- typical implementation of TIES?
