- Digicom committed to implement the Class 2.0 fax interface. This is the
- just approved new fax interface and different from the 'Class 2' interfaces

-
- Voicemail is also planned (finished in the lab so far) and it will

- The external Scout+ or Spirit II modems have a front panel with 10 LEDS,
- which I find rather useful:
-
- Cutout from SCOUT.TXT:
-
- Scout Plus, external model
- On the 5 1/2 by 1 1/2 front panel are 10 LEDS:
-
- MR modem ready
- TR terminal ready
- AA auto answer
- EC error correction
- HS high speed
- RD receive data
- SD send data
- CD carrier detect
- CS clear to send (hardware flow control)
- OH off hook
-
- Now lets look at the LEDS in action (with factory register defaults):
-
- . = LED OFF
- O = LED ON
- B = LED BLINKING
-
- MR TR AA EC HS RD SD CD CS OH
