There is about a 3 second delay to the atz and at#cls=8 commands the first
time they are given.  Is ecsw giving these commands too quickly for this
modem then?  Can something be done or should I try another modem again?  

I originally purchased a zoom modem from computer city which didn't work.
I exchanged it for another modem with the specs in ecs.doc but it didn't
work and the modem gave error responses to many of the phn-c.set commands.
I current took the rockwell modem out of a newer computer and am using
that in my ecs computer.  Should I exchange my modem for a phoneblaster?
They don't have any other zoom modems.

By the way;  when ecst uses synthetic voice my screen gets covered by
messages each time it speeks.  The messages end with ...removed from
memory.  Can I do something about this?  Do you need more info?  The
screen refreshes fine.  It also seems to affect phone-rings item when
caller id is announcing.  It may be because my old ecs.cfg was not updated
completely/correctly?  There are no error messages at startup.

Thanks.     Dan Dubay
