Talk:Hayes command set

Surely this is not the case, my Hayes Smartmodem 300 used AT commands?

[edit] ATS2=255

It's not a really well-known fact, but on many modems, register S2 controls which character is the escape character. The default is 43, +. However, 255 is a special case. ATS2=255 disables the escape system entirely. This eliminates the problem of embedded +++ sequences. To hang up while in this mode, you drop the DTR signal on the serial port. There is no way to enter command mode while connected with escapes disabled, but most applications of modems have no use for this other than hanging up. -- Myria 06:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I was reading your comments, but it somehow got cut off after the three plusses. I keep losing my internet connection. Got any ideas? Just kidding of course. Reswobslc 03:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of modems having a Hayes command set

The main article could be improved if someone included a list of which modems observed the Hayes command set, and the years they were introduced. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.177.27.23 (talk) 05:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC).

Just about ALL dial-up modems in existence do. That would be a very, very long list of modems. If anything, a list of modems that do NOT support the Hayes command set would be more meaningful - and all such modems are ancient dinosaurs from the 70's and early 80's, probably no faster than 300 or 1200 baud.

[edit] default pause for comma

Various other sites on the web claim that S8 register default is 2 making the comma in dial commands a _two_ second pause (text says 1, table says 2)? I do not have a real hayes modem to check this. Kjw 10:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
