Not quite.  The &W is *not* simply ignored.  It, and any other command
which the Telebit PC doesn't support (like M0 for another example)
produce ERROR instead of being ignored.  TFM doesn't say that.

Telebit engineers have said there's no memory on the board because it
wouldn't fit.  I think they ruined an otherwise terrific product by
excluding it.  Yes, you can still make it do all the things that a
modem with memory can do more easily, but it's definitely hack and
modify time.  And the missing options should not produce an ERROR
message.
