INTERWORKING DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS EQUIPMENT
Unfortunately not all manufacturers use the same terminology, and so this complicates circuit set up. To
the best of our ability the following table shows the equivalence between manufacturers. This table will be
extended as information on other products is forthcoming.

A `compatibility document` which describes interworking tests between the Paradise P300/P400 Modems
and other manufacturers modems is available on request.
