Yes, the &D3 command HAS been dropped from USR firmware with
the latest release.  New Sportsters (Plug and Pray models) and those
upgraded to "V.34+" firmware will respond to this command with
"ERROR".

USR claims that &D3 is a little-used command, and that &D2 will
work instead.  Except FaxWorks makes no provision that would allow
users to change this parameter.  I've heard that SofNet recommends
their customers acquire a binary editor and make the change to their
compiled modem command file themselves.

Now THAT's customer service!  (I've been "serviced" like that a
few times myself!)
