Yes, you're correct.... but that's exactly what I've been trying to get at
all along. "AT #CID" gives an error on a SupraExpress and my SupraFAX... so
it's not a good indication as to whether or not the modem supports CID or
t.
I wanted to know if the Express supports CID, I have a SupraFAX and I know it
does. And that's why I told someone to:
If it returns an error, then it's not supported. If it is supported it will
return the values that are legal.

ave
Craig, which one of the commands that you typed in match the one that I
mention above? Let me answer that for you, *NONE*.
Now if you want to type in (and I quote, for what must be the 12th time
already) AT #CID and tell me it works "OK" then I'll believe that my modem
has a problem, but the caller ID isn't the problem. It's been working fine
for about 2 years now.
If I'm coming across as being an a*s, sorry... but this is a little
rediculous already....

In terminal mode type in AT #CID (including the space) tell me if you get an

assistant: I may be picking nits here, but notice in various messages...It could

I think when you leave a space, then it quits reading the line thus
it may be only "seeing" AT and not the rest of it, thus an error msg.

While I know this area has been rather quiet, but I do believe it was a few

moderator of the echo that brought it up. The person did work a Supra, but
was promoted or something and was no longer active in this area.... perhaps
someone knows who I'm talking about. The person's name escapes me.
But if the manual and the information you find on the Express brand states
that it does have NVRAM, then you probably do have a grounds for a complaint.

I

    This will be the third and final time I will say this...  (No one here
as
responded to it at all yet)  To find out if your Supra supports caller ID
ype
the following in terminal mode:  ATI10  then press enter...  If option #142
s
listed, then the modem supports caller ID...  Actually using caller ID is
another thing entirely...  First you're going to have to pay through the nose
to have your phone company give you access to it...  Here it is $6.00 per
month...  Second, you must have software which supports caller ID, and such
software is usually incompatible with BBS software, terminal programs,
mailers, etc. as it anwers the phone first, and is incapable of passing the
call on to an of the other programs...

Just because one manufacturer releases v.90 code it doesn't mean that
diamond will release theirs also. The v.90 code is still only a
recommended protocol and is in VERY early testing satges. any code that is
released atm will have flaws in it. afaik diamond is due to release v.90
code to the general public some time in april, but as most ISPs have not
