What it is

A set of short text commands —AT commands— for controlling dial-up modems (dialing, hanging up, configuring the connection), developed by Dale Heatherington and Dennis Hayes for the Hayes Smartmodem.

What it led to

  • A de facto standard for virtually all dial-up modems
  • Basis of AT commands still used in cellular and GPS modems
  • Interoperability between modem manufacturers
