Has anyone tried this? I haven't done it myself, but some people around here apparently do it. You have to set your loss of carrier timeout (S10 on modems that use you-know-who's command set) to, say, 20-30 seconds. Then you can disconnect the modem, pick up the phone, the the person to get lost (:-)) and then hang up the phone and reconnect the modem. Make sure you set the timeout on both ends, though, not just one. cjs -- Curt Sampson | curt@cynic.uucp | ``Unix is one big `in' joke.'' curt@cynic.wimsey.bc.ca | -- Ullrich_Fischer@mindlink.bc.ca
