If any of these people are reading this group:

   I don't know if you have noticed, but I have put an almost all out
attack on Commodore in regards to DTR support within the serial.device.  Currently,
I am forced to break a personal, and Commodore rule and go directly to
the HARDWARE in order to control the DTR line.  I have bought, for the purpose
of support, an internal Supra 2400ZI (I also have an external supra 2400).  
It too fails to have the ability to properly control the DTR line.  With my ASDG
Duel-Serial board, there is a very easy, and documented (With source
examples in the manual) way to control the DTR.  What I'd like to see is 
SUPRA support eithor the same or a similar method, and enable people with the
Supra board proper control of their DTR.  I know a LOT of people that would have
bought the Supra board had software been able to support it properly. Currently,
a lot of software has been crippled in it's in-ability to hang up, or control the
modem in any way.


  Supra, Please join ASDG and other companies in setting a standard for the
PROPER handling of the control lines on a modem.
