This is a little off the subject, but perhaps you could help me: I'm running FAS 2.08 with ISC 2.2 and it works fine for modems (device 208, etc.) and also for hardwired connections (device 80, etc.). Now I want to be able to link from a dialin port to a hardwired port connected to a BBS. I've written a little handy-dandy that does the link OK and I can dial in, link to the BBS and upload/download ASCII and binary OK. The only trouble is that when the BBS hangs up, the handy-dandy doesn't get a hangup signal. I'm running the hardwired port as if it were modem with a cable that connects the DTR of the BBS to the CD & DSR of the port and have a tester on the line and can see that the CS & DSR go off when the BBS hangs up, but no signal comes to the handy-dandy (if I send a signal with kill -1, it hangs up OK). When I put a PC on the hardwired "modem" port and connect to the UNIX system, it hangs up OK, but not when I dial in and link to the BBS on the hardwired "modem" port. Any ideas? --Dave McLane JUNET INTERNET BITNET via UUNET ==== The Aegis Society ============================================= Minami Hirao 1-6, Imazato The content and process of Nagaokakyo-shi, Kyoto-fu, 617 Japan international/cultural Tel: +81-75-951-1168 Fax: +81-75-957-1087 communication. ====================================================================
