Does anyone know how communications programs work for the //'s?
How can it send commands to the modem without having to set DSR on
(hence MR on) like I have to right now that I am using PR#2 for my
Applesoft program? When I run kermit for instant and do a "CO" to
get into terminal mode, all I have is the TR led on and whatever I
type will go to the modem. But in my appleosft program, I need to
set DSR (MR) on before my commands go to the modem?

Thomas.
