The latest is v2.0

ATZ loads whatever setting you have saved in the modem's NVRAM (stored with AT&W).

Yeah, that would be expected for older modems like that.

Yeah, those old (2400 and slower) modems without error correction usually expecte DTE rate the same as their highest connect (DCE) rate supported. But I would read the manual to know for usre.

Data terminal ready.

I would start with the newer modem, myself.

Set the Caller-ID string to blank.
