  I knew about Query. I query every time I get a packet back. DSR interests
me. I checked my modem manual, and yes, I can make "DSR is ON only
when a carrier is detected from the remote modem."
  How do I send _commands_ to the modem. (It is easy, until
I turn DSR control on.. I could do that when I dial, but then
when I lose the carrier I'd have to reset the modem with DTR
before I could send to the modem...)

  Beautiful. Now where was that paycheck.. Hmm, next week I guess.

  I didn't expect that yet. :-)
