- Indeed, that is the case. As per a note I received from
- Donald.Stoye@eng.sun.com (Donald Stoye who questioned PPI and got the
- following response:
-
- I fear that there is some misunderstanding about the &T19 command.
- This is NOT a command which can be used from the command line and
- given directly to the modem by manually typing. It is a time
- sensitive situation and MUST have software support. The only
- communications program which currently supports this test is
- SmartCom Exec from Hayes. This command requires software support
- and it works properly when that software support is available.
-
- and
-
- As I noted to you in a prior reply the "AT&T19 error" is not an
- error at all. The &T19 test requires software support. This is not
- clear from the documentation, but that is the case. It cannot be
- used from the command line manually.
-
- However, there have been reports as well that say PPI is aware of this
- and recognized it as a BUG rather than a FEATURE.
