Specifically ISC UNIX R3.2 V2.2. Check for something like this: the MultiTech modems we use here have a nifty setting that causes the modem to re-initialize to the RAM settings when loss of DTR is seen. (It happens to be AT&D3 - &D is all the DTR options.) We set the modems to the highest baud rate we want them to answer at (i.e.: maximum smoke :-)) and when the login is terminated, DTR drops and resets the modem to that, regardless of what the login was at. Same for when the modem is used for call-out, as with 'cu'. Interestingly enough, when I mentioned to MultiTech that that seemed awfully handy for a UNIX/Xenix system, I was told they had added that option at the specific request of a UNIXoid. I seem to recall from earlier postings that you're not using MultiTechs, but maybe whatever you are using has a similar thing. Hope this helps. -- Jim Seymour | Medar, Inc. ...!uunet!medar!jseymour | 38700 Grand River Ave. jseymour@medar.com | Farmington Hills, MI. 48331 CIS: 72730,1166 GEnie: jseymour | FAX: (313)477-8897
