[Coco] Hayes modem "+++" timing question

[Bill Pierce]

Allen,
I can't answer you question though someone will. But on the Drivewire + Ethernet discussion, DW4 supports the hayes modem command set as well.

Subject: [Coco] Hayes modem "+++" timing question


I have coded up a Hayes command parser for my Ethernet experiment. Much to my 
surprise, the Hayes "AT" command set seems to be alive and well -- even in 
modern cellular/hotspot type modems. There is a Wikipedia article on "Hayes 
modem AT commands" that I found interesting.

My question for today:

On a Hayes smartmodem, typing "+++" will enter command mode (with a 1 second 
pause before and after, configurable).

Does anyone know if there is a timeout during the wait period for the "+++" 
string? i.e., this works:

(1 sec pause)+++(1 sec pause)

...and certainly works even if you type the "+++" slowly. But is there a 
timeout/reset between looking for the "+" characters? Will this work:

(1 sec pause)++(5 sec pause)+(1 sec pause)

Or...

(1 sec pause)++(60 sec pause)+(1 sec pause)

I would think there would be a reset timeout, but I have yet to find any docs 
online that mention one.

Thanks,
