Andrew,
   We don't have a 'customer counter' to swap over, and there are no
facilities here for customers to bring modems in by hand for upgrades,
trade ins, etc. here in the US.  If you're in the UK you'll need to
contact our support folks in the UK regarding trade ins, etc. at
eurotech@hayes.com.

Alan,
   The modem should be reporting more than just a CONNECT message, you
should be getting the compression, protocol, etc. responses as well.
What terminal program are you using and what is the port speed set for?

Alan,
   Let's try one more thing just to verify that that really is a 300
bit/s connect.  From terminal mode and the port set to at least
38,400 bit/s try issuing an
AT&FS95=60\V1
The modem should return "OK"
then dial via
ATDTn (where "n" is the number you are dialing)
and then let us know what connect messages you get (you should see the
connect, protocol, etc. messages there).
Also, when not connected, try issuing an ATi3 to the modem and let us
know what it returns.
   Also,  if it's convenient, you might try sending these results to
us at support@os.hayes.com.  It's much easier for us to deal with an

assistant: Hello everyone,
I just picked up one of the above modems cheap (#10.00) to use as a backup to
my Sportster 14400 (or more likely to demote the Sportster to the role of
backup).  The reason it was so cheap was that it came without manuals, cable
or
power supply.
Could anyone tell me what power supply it needs?  I know it's 9vAC but does
anyone know what mA rating it should be, or anything else I need to know
bout
it?  Next, does anyone know where I can get hold of a command set from?  I
guess
that it may have a help facility like the USR does, but if so I'd still need
to
know what the help command is (equivalent to AT$ on the USR).
Finally, is there anything I should know about the telephone cable?  I am
assuming I need a standard phone cable like the USR, but I do know that some
modems have strange proprietary phone cables instead.
If I can get this modem up and running it should hopefully get rid of the
minor
problem I have in contacting a few V34/V34+ nodes with the Sportster.
Thanks in advance,

Erm all I know is that they are different to the one the 14k4 sporster uses

I tried using the cable I got with one of my Hayes on the Sporster and it
