Is this a common thing? I have worked with MicroVAXen, Suns, AViiONs, and most recently a 386 running ESIX. While I understand the need for modem control on tty lines, it seems to me that CU might not necessarily __WANT__ to drop the line. I might even want to make another call without giving up control of the line... -abc -- Alan B.
