NAME
       Device::Modem::UsRobotics - USR modems extensions to control self-mode

SYNOPSIS
	 use Device::Modem::UsRobotics;

	 my $modem = new Device::Modem::UsRobotics( port => '/dev/ttyS1' );
	 $modem->connect( baudrate => 9600 );
	 my %info = $modem->messages_info();
	 print "There are $info{unreleased_voice_msg} unread voice messages on $info{stored_voice_msg} total
";
	 print "There are $info{unreleased_fax_msg} unread fax messages on $info{stored_fax_msg} total
";

	 # Get details about message n. X
	 my %msg = $modem->message_info(1);
	       index type information attributes status day hour minute
	       callerid page addresshigh addresslow checksum
	 print 'This is a ', ($msg{type} == 2 ? 'voice' : 'fax'), 'message', "
";
	 print 'It came from no. ', $msg{callerid}, "
";
	 # ...

	 # Now clear all messages
	 $modem->clear_memory();

WARNING
       This module is not documented yet, and it is a rough work in progress.  Until now, it correctly reads voice/fax messages information, but
       when saving voice messages to disk, sometimes they are incorrectly decoded.

       So, if you need a working program, check out the good old TkUsr by Ludovic Drolez, unless you want to help develop
       Device::Modem::UsRobotics.

DOCS TO BE COMPLETED FROM NOW.....
       Yes, I'm a bad boy :-)

DESCRIPTION
       Bla Bla Bla...

METHODS
       clear_memory()

       Used to permanently clear the memory space of the modem. There are separate memory spaces, one for voice/fax messages and one for user set-
       tings. Examples:

	       $modem->clear_memory('user');	 # or $modem->clear_memory(1)
	   $modem->clear_memory('messages'); # or $modem->clear_memory(2)

       To clear both, you can use:

	   $modem->clear_memory('all');      # or $modem->clear_memory(0);

       Parameters:

       $memtype
	   String or integer that selects the type of memory to be cleared, where 0 is for "all", 1 is for "user" memory, 2 is for "messages" mem-
	   ory.
