 As a new comer to modem use I need to ask something that may be obvious
to many on this group. When using either a Smart One 2400X or a CTS
Datacomm 2424ADH (both of which appear to be substantially if not fully
Hayes-compatible) I will finish an on-line connection, and attempt to go
to command mode so I can send the ATH. To do so, I wait then send the
three + signs but don't get the OK response. I am on a PC running PcPlot
which is a VT-100 terminal emulator. I would like to know if there is a
register setting or other thing I am overlooking. I thought that *any*
string of 3 plusses, with the guard time, while connected, would send an
OK back. I checked the S2 register with a terminal on the 232 port and
it returns 043. Any help? The modem in this case is being used in
dialing outward.
