| manual although the rev 1.3 dialTBIT.c does try to set it.  I also notice

| 	OK
| 	ats110?
| 	000

Whoops -- you're very correct.  Sorry for the mis-information to any and
all readers of these news groups who may have been misled.  Indeed, the
"S111" register is "File Tranfer Protocol Support" and I had intended to
refer to the "S110" register.

However, since my last follow-up, I have had personal contact with other
T1000 users who happen to have an "older" model whose S-registers were
*NOT* the same as my own, and that fact demonstrated by both the Model
number on the label and the corresponding manual.  Hence, *CAUTION*
should be taken, even when speaking about T1000 TBIT modems.  The same
T1000 may be identified by a different "Product Identification String",
which can be found in the "S49" register.  This can be determined by
an "ATI0" <retn>.  On my own T1000, the "ATI0" returns "968" or a
"Model T1SA" and the manual accompanying it is "90062-02 Rev. E".  It
definitely does *NOT* have register "S110" which is "Trailblazer" spe-
cific referring to it's "Compression Mode".

Again, apologies for mis-information, and regards....      Steve Walick
