It seems like bothe the Apple and Hayes modems are a big lose...
I am about to receive my 3rd US Robotics Password Modem today (No, the
others didn't break, I just like them so much, I have bought 3) The Password
uses a subset of the Hayes command set and is advantageous because 1)It is
smaller, 2)It is more reliable (the others have been known to get flaky when
they overheat) 3)The transformer is smaller. The Password does hang up on
the +++ set, but that is no loss, the only commands that you would want to
do at this point would be to dial another number or wait for a call. (If
you want to change parity, do this on the Configure Menu) The only problem
with Passwords are their demand, they are getting harder and harder to come
by. My recommendation.
