Hi,

   I just got a Practical Peripheral 28800 PM288MT II v.34 modem. I'm trying 
to set it up but I'm having problems. According to the manual, I should be 
able to do a AT&f1 to set it up for the standard PC defaults. Each time I do 
this however I get an ERROR back not OK. This is the same for the other 
factory defaults except for 0. Digging a bit further I found that ati3 should 
return the firmware version in the format of:

   PM288MT II V.34 Rev. x.xx.

However, what I see is 

04-00971-710 34AC

ATi6 (session stats) is another command which returns an ERROR.

I have a PPI 14400 which works correctly with the above commands. Has anyone 
seen this with a PM288MT modem? Do I have a modem which the incorrect 
firmware? I have got the modem working using the string AT&f&c1&d2&k3 but it 
seems strange if I'm missing some commands.

Thanks,

   Duane

I remember seeing a post very recently (maybe on compuserve) from a PPI tech saying that the 
"f1" has been replaced by "f" in the
new ppi288 modems, so I'm almost 100% sure you're OK with the the &f in there.
